Book excerpt: As global competition grows more fierce, companies continue to look for ways to increase their competitive edge without jeopardizing profit margins. Today's corporations are starting to realize the competitive advantage that Information Technology (IT) can bring to a company. These corporations are also realizing that staying current with technology requires a great deal of effort, risk, and expense. This is one of the primary reasons CEO's are considering outsourcing as an alternative. Written by a CIO who has successfully maneuvered through the outsourcing process, Outsourcing: A CIO's Perspective addresses the realistic expectations and the most commonly asked questions about IT outsourcing, while reviewing it's advantages and disadvantages. This text identifies key elements that can be used to assess the feasibility of securing a profitable and manageable outsourcing agreement. It provides a convincing case that even if the final decision is to not outsource, the result of the process will identify potential business improvement opportunities.

Book excerpt: Outsourcing remains a global growth industry. New technologies and approaches have transformed the way in which services can be delivered with ever better service quality and lower cost, with robotic process automation (RPA) significantly reducing the numbers of supplier personnel required to deliver such projects, and the application of artificial intelligence tools dramatically improving some of the service outputs and outcomes. Now that the world is facing up to the impact of Covid-19 in terms of pressures on cost bases and the realisation that far more roles than previously understood can be effectively undertaken remotely, we can anticipate that there will be a further step change in the use of outsourcing as a core business strategy.This book is the fully updated second edition of the key text on outsourcing written by the market-leading global technology and sourcing team at DLA Piper, one of the world's largest law firms. Writing from both a legal and commercial perspective, it considers the complete lifecycle of an outsourcing contract and the variety of legal and contractual issues that can arise in connection with such a project, from the initial genesis of the proposal to outsource all the way through the procurement process and onto post-contract signature contract management. In so doing, it also breaks down the core outsourcing contract into its constituent parts, explains the rationale for the relevant provisions (from both a customer and service provider perspective), and provides guidance as to current market practice, options and trends, including individual nuances relevant to particular jurisdictions.The second edition also features new coverage of: *The use of cloud 'backbones';*New technologies such as RPA/artificial intelligence;*Digital transformation;*Data privacy; and *Outsourcing in heavily regulated sectors.Whether you are a user of outsourced services, an adviser on outsourcing projects or working with a service provider engaged in the provision of the outsourced services itself, this publication will provide you with an end-to-end guide to the outsourcing contracting process and the detailed terms to be considered and carefully negotiated.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: A, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, language: English, abstract: Americans are crying foul on the way their economic future has been put at risk. American corporations have literary opened a Pandora’s Box, in their quest to reduce the expenses on getting some specific tasks accomplished. This is at the expense of the Americans who, day by day are losing lucrative jobs to foreigners who are experts in the various fields. In the early 2000, the media was flooded with reports on how the US was slowly doing itself an injustice by unleashing some of the best jobs offshore to China, India and China, where the cost of getting the job done was much cheaper. The government’s acknowledgement through Dr. Gregory Mankiw, who used to be President Bush’s Chief Economic Advisor in 2003, raged the storm even further. His assertions that exporting of very high value jobs was productive for the country were unsettling. This essay seeks to explore how Americans are highly disadvantaged by the outsourcing evil that has struck the US like a plague. Moreover, the various options available for the country to redeem itself are further discussed and examined deeply. As peter DeFazio puts it “We are entirely outsourcing United States’ industrial base to China. Economic implications along with national security issues are a concern”. Outsourcing has become a reality that has posed a dilemma in the USA. Experts indicate that the phenomenon is unstoppable and can never be ignored. More than 14 million white collar jobs are vulnerable of being outsourced. It should be noted that these are high paying jobs with as average salary of $31, 720. By the end of 2005, more than 800,000 jobs had been moved overseas from the US. Various fields have been adversely affected. Notably, any work that can be sent over the wire is likely to be outsourced. Some of the fields include information technology, newspaper reporting, call-center operators, legal services, engineering tasks and accounting. Moreover reports have indicated that more than 2 million jobs in the banking and securities sector are likely to move overseas in thus. There are also more than 700,000 customer

Download or read book Successful Outsourcing and Multi-Sourcing written by Mr Derek Parlour and published by Gower Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2014-08-28 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are books on outsourcing, but most are by academics or consultants. Few address multi-sourcing. The author of Successful Outsourcing and Multi-Sourcing, is a practitioner who headed an operation that handles over 500 million customer contacts a year with less than 30 staff, through both outsourcing and multi-sourcing. Multi-sourcing occurs where each individual function is contracted directly by the client rather than using a large system integrator or prime contractor. This approach lowers costs, reduces reliance on suppliers, speeds up change and generates a greater degree of innovation. The downside is it places much more of the risk on the client and needs specialist skills to run effectively. As well as a focus on multi-sourcing, the book addresses the question of why a business should outsource in the first place and how decisions to do this should be strategic, rather than it being something that happens by accident. Chapters then illuminate the benefits of single-sourcing; the benefits of multi-sourcing; how best to decide what outsourcing model to choose; how to transition to outsourcing; and what steps to take to maximise benefit and minimise risk. Downsides are clearly spelled out and alternatives to outsourcing are examined, including partial outsourcing and insourcing. This book serves as a valuable source of practical guidance for organisations looking at outsourcing strategy, outsourcing professionals, and those teaching or studying business topics.
