Imagine your Monday
morning. You arrived at work early, your voicemail
already had several messages on it, and your inbox
was flooded. As you scan the messages you see
two from the VP of Engineering. The two of you
have discussed the shrinking application development
budget, and now you are in a bind about what to
do. You estimate that you will need at least a
20% greater budget to feel comfortable about accomplishing
your goals. Worse still, the rumor mill has started
that non-essential staff will be outsourced. Morale
is down, as your coworkers discovered you have
been talking to some Indian company about outsourcing
jobs. You feel uncertain, under pressure and frustrated.
Could this be you someday?
To avoid the above scenario, managers can rely
on five guidelines for successful outsourcing. |
| The traditional view that only non-essential
services should be outsourced no longer holds true.
Strategic outsourcing provides an opportunity to
gain competitive advantage through lower cost of
development at a higher speed and quality. As an
IT Manager you can add increasing value by identifying
the processes eligible for outsourcing. Managers
face the challenge of ensuring that outsourced processes
and their costs are clearly understood and their
costs can be capped even as the processes evolve.
This applies to telecommunication behemoths as much
as high growth start-ups.
