Here are our top tips to assessing whether it’s the best option for yours:

    If not, how can they be or is the project a non-starter?
  2. Is your organisation truly ready to accommodate a third-party service provider?
    If your organisation is not ready, can you leverage the right change management techniques to enable this.
  3. What is your scope for Outsourcing: what processes, resources and activity must be kept in-house?
    It is vital to establish exactly what can and cannot be delivered by an external source.
  4. Are all the costs, including delivery costs, accounted for in any potential deal?
    Cost saving is an essential reason and component of sourcing. Establishing if this is going to be part of a deal and to what extent is an essential piece of information.
  5. What are your precise requirements from potential suppliers?
    What do you need and can the potential provider meet these with stringent SLAs (service level agreements)?

    Establish in writing the scale of outsourcing, SLAs and assess whether these can be met.

    Ensure you visit any serious potential service provider’s premises to assess their capability to deliver on their claims and any security measures you may require for data handling.

    Obtain references and case studies to establish their successes or otherwise delivering similar solutions and or dealing with businesses of similar size to yours.
  9. Is your selection method quantitative, qualitative and objective?
