Many companies need to simplify their operating models, reduce costs structurally and invest in new markets and services at the same time. Partner ecosystems reduce complexity and save costs - through outsourcing, cloud utilisation and increasingly through partnerships with xTecs. The focus of ecosystems is shifting from pure programmes to increase efficiency to architectures for digitalisation.
Our range of services
According to the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals, our ecosystem and sourcing consultants have been among the "World's Best Outsourcing Advisors" for ten years. In 2016, the European Sourcing Association recognised us as the best European advisor.
Our consultants take into account the complex legal, regulatory, tax and organisational factors as well as the business aspects when it comes to outsourcing:
- redesigning digital ecosystems and further developing existing sourcing strategies;
- conceptualising stringent business cases for the cloud, sourcing and partnerships;
- assessing which services can be optimally provided onshore, nearshore and offshore. We also analyse the sensible use of robotic process automation;
- Identify partners with the right mix of agility, costs, culture and qualifications;
- negotiate better agreements with these partners more quickly;
- extend existing agreements, share them or bring them back in-house through insourcing;
- develop functionally meaningful and regulatory compliant "service integration and management" concepts for increasingly complex ecosystems and sourcing partnerships.
