How to Select the Right Sourcing Advisor

All Advisors are Different – Selection Starts with the Right RFP.

In today’s dynamic technology environment, sourcing is increasingly utilized as a key component of global IT service delivery. As sourcing is a highly specialized and complex process, many IT and business executives consider hiring a specialized sourcing advisory to support the development of a sourcing strategy, the execution of an insourcing initiative, or the management of an outsourcing transaction.

Building Your Strategy for Technology Sourcing

An Evolving Landscape Global sourcing, open source, and Moore’s law have made technology widely available, standardized, and cheaper than ever. Further Cloud, Virtualization, As-a-Service, Business Platforms and new forms of delivery are changing the technology landscape. Although cost and service levels are still important, ensuring that IT is optimized to deliver value back to the business is now a top priority for leading companies. Management expects more productivity but lower costs from their IT investment and are investigating initiatives that will reduce their OpEx and enable them to focus on core competencies and strategic priorities.

Speed of Deployment Key to ROI Realization in Cloud HR

NelsonHall’s recently published (July, 2017) Targeting Cloud-Based HR Services market analysis report estimates the global cloud-based HR services market to be $15.2bn, and this is expected to continue its growth trajectory (~6.3% CAGR) to reach $20.6bn by 2021.

With the largest portion of the market coming from cloud implementations (~44%), it’s interesting to find that less than half of the current multi-process HR outsourcing contracts are being delivered on cloud-based systems. Despite the growing appetite for cloud-based HR platforms, vendors continue to encounter organizations hesitant to leave traditional on-premise systems and make the switch to the cloud.
