In
the flat world of today, even moderately sized IT
organization or IT projects need to consider the
potential advantages of labor arbitrage and access
to skills that a global blended delivery model could
provide. Leveraging the right kind of resources
at the right location and right cost whether on
site, near shore or offshore is what TPP refers
to as Strategic Sourcing.

IT Sourcing
TPP
views Strategic Sourcing as a strategic decision
to be be developed through the IT Governance and
Alignment Processes. We will assist customers develop
a sourcing strategy aligned with the business needs
while leveraging the rapidly changing capability
and cost of new sources of supply. IT Strategic
Sourcing is used to address the many challenges
of a rapidly changing IT environment:

Strategic IT Sourcing approach:
- Defines
the key steps and criteria to determine the scope
of activities to be included,
-
Identifies potential solution providers,
- Develops
the details of the requirements (a Request for Proposal)
- Lists
the evaluation criteria
- Guides
the partner selection process.

a long and complex process. TPP will assist customers

Transition
Support Services
After
the development of the Strategic Sourcing Strategy
and the selection of required Service Providers,
the transition to the new model can be long and
very disruptive. Especially if current internal
resources are impacted in a significant fashion.
TPP can supplement internal resources as needed
, often in the following areas
-
Participation
on the transition management office to provide
additional project management capabilities
-
Leading
the Change Management aspects of the project
-
Focusing
on the intersection between IT and the Service
Providers
