What is Outsourcing? Outsourcing takes place when an organization transfers the ownership of a business process or function to a supplier. “This differentiates outsourcing from business relationships in which the buyer retains control of the process or, in other words, tells the supplier how to do the work. In outsourcing, the buyer does not instruct the supplier how to perform its task but, instead, focuses on communicating what results it wants to buy. It leaves the process of accomplishing those results to the supplier.” - The Outsourcing Exchange

Insource vs. Outsource "If something fits your core competence, you should do it inside. If it's not your core competence and another firm can do it better, you should rely on them to provide it.“ “Isn’t sustainable competitive advantage and differentiation far more about doing what customers value rather than doing what we are good at?"

Making the outsourcing move 1. This is not a “one size fits all” proposition 2. Some companies start by simplifying their infrastructure, consolidating systems, adding automation capabilities and finding more flexible ways to deliver necessary capabilities 3. Other companies start with business design and focus on their highest-priority transformation components

“What are the risks?”

Business Consulting Services
What About the Risk of Compliance? “Outsourcing service providers are typically in a better position to meet Sarbanes-Oxley compliance issues than the client company, since outsourcers already have to document workflows and processes. Service providers will not assume fiduciary responsibility, but will be responsible for the processes instituted during an outsourcing transition that enable the company to insert control points for far less cost than if implemented on their own.” - EquaTerra

Isn’t Outsourcing Just About Reducing Costs?
“Most look at outsourcing from the point of view of cutting costs, which I think is a delusion. What outsourcing does is greatly improve the quality of people who still work for you. I believe you should outsource everything for which there is no career track that could lead to senior management” – Peter Drucker, Fortune, 1/12/04

The fundamental question: how to improve the effectiveness of your procurement? Procurement Effectiveness Issues
Pressures to cut costs and improve profitability, EPS and cash flow Lacking basic information about procurement spend to effectively manage it 30-50% of purchases are off contract (“maverick”) resulting in lost leverage Procurement processes are administratively focused and paperwork intensive Lack deep expertise in strategic sourcing and ability to consolidate supplier relationships for advantage Delays in implementation of e-procurement due to organizational change issues and lack of supplier readiness and catalog content 36
