Is IT sourcing a center of excellence for your business?
Digital transformation is a reality, and for most companies, the stakes are high: leverage a broad mix of digital technologies to grow and transform the business, or risk obsolescence. This reality is reframing the way companies think about all aspects of IT, including sourcing.
In the digital transformation era, optimized IT sourcing practices can deliver more value to the business than ever before – and that has many companies thinking about IT sourcing transformation.
IT spending is exploding both in terms of budget and number of purchases. There are more stakeholders involved in every transaction. IT buyers are under close scrutiny to make the smartest purchase with the least amount of risk, and to be hyper-responsive to the needs of the business. IT buyers are managing a larger number of vendors, whose own business and licensing/subscription models are changing quickly.
IT buying “excellence” in this landscape is a tall order. But more and more companies view IT buying as a critical value driver – especially when it comes to accelerating digital transformation initiatives.
In today’s IT sourcing landscape, the following challenges are shared by many enterprises:
VENDOR LEVERAGE
POOR FORECASTING & VISIBILITY
MISALIGNMENT
INADEQUATE IT ASSET MANAGEMENT
NPI can help you tackle these challenges with an IT Sourcing Transformation initiative. First, we conduct a thorough functional assessment of your current state. It will explore the organization, services, processes, staff and tools associated with IT supplier planning, selection, sourcing and ongoing management. One outcome is a mapping of your current state to NPI’s proprietary IT Sourcing Maturity Model.
Next, we collaborate to define your future-state IT sourcing functional design, establish a phased implementation roadmap, build the processes and tools to support the design, and execute the roadmap. The functional design is guided by this set of objectives:
This is not a trivial exercise, and it takes C-Suite support to fund and realize this vision. But for organizations with deep commitment to achieving an empowered state of IT sourcing excellence, NPI is a powerful resource to help you get the job done.
