PREPARING FOR OUTSOURCING
The Burning Platform
BUSINESS CONCERNS
Perceived low availability of services
Perceived low level of service quality
(accessibility, turn-around time etc.)
No clear service reporting and service
management
Slow and error-prone service introduction
Unsatisfactory support of remote sites &
subsidiaries
No service culture
Cost allocation & charges unclear and cannot
be influenced by business decisions
IT CONCERNS
Unreasonable service level expectations
from business
No cost & resource awareness
Large number of non-standard work
requests
High-level of business applications
Inefficient / underutilized server platform,
aging central technology platforms and
complex networks
Large and divers skill pool required to

PREPARING FOR OUTSOURCING
Understand Internal Constraints
Availability of Seed Money–I need to reduce cost, this requires efficiency gains,
efficiency gains require investments…
Structural Inflexibility–Your current business and application architecture may not
allow for simple and low cost ICT changes
Time to Benefit–Most “quick-wins” have already been explored over the last couple
of years. Major initiatives have pay-backs seldom shorter than 24 –36 months
Business vs. IT Projects–Most projects are invisible to the normal business users
and do not directly contribute to business revenue generation
Capacity & Know-How–Are there sufficient internal resources available to drive the
change in a timely fashion? Will heavy external resource usage kill the business
case?
Change Capacity–Can the internal organization absorb this change now (ex.
Overall moral, unions, etc.)
Sustainability–Can initiatives be maintained in light of business development?

Criteria Assessment
Financials •Service providers are mainly driven by volume, and to a lesser extend by margin and margin
composition
Duration of Contract •3 years is standard, but will not allow time for fundamental transformations.
•5 years gives more room for change
Scope of Technology & Services •In how far can the existing park be integrated into provider’s infrastructure & skill pool
Demand Stability •In how far can demand for service delivery be accurately assessed?
Scope of Control •How much insight & governance control does the client want to exert? Which service model will
prevail?
Transformation Potential •What are the potential synergies in terms of people, processes, infrastructure etc. What are the
hand-back constraints? How will benefits be shared?
Follow-up Business •What else might be offered to the client (ex. Business process outsourcing?)

Do not forget TUPE
TUPE stands for The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment)
Regulations 1981. The Regulations were introduced to safeguard employees’
rights in the event of a transfer of an undertaking, business or part of a
business. This includes:
The obligation to inform and consult all employees in scope transfer
Transferee inherits all claims and rights
Continuity of employment is preserved for employees
Employees transfer on their existing terms and conditions of employment

Next Steps in Outsourcing
Outsourcing will continue to grow, mainly for BPO…
Services will become more standardized, creating new norms
New service providers will appear in Eastern Europe and China
Asian players will move on-shore and compete head-on with traditional local
players
Local regulations will continue to be opened up to support cross-border
services
Politics will start to address increasing social issues and concerns
