Develop a sourcing model
You want to redistribute services or strengthen your own capabilities. We help assess options, dependencies and the financial implications of a model in a transparent way.
IT Sourcing
External IT services should strengthen your team, not add to its workload.
We help connect internal capabilities and external services — from the sourcing decision to a well-governed partnership.
What it is about
IT sourcing consulting: connect internal and external capabilities.
We help you decide which IT capabilities to retain internally and which services partners should provide. Together, we assess insourcing, outsourcing and mixed models. We then support selection, transition and governance to fit your goals and organization.

Typical situations
When external delivery needs to be reorganized.
Prepare a tender
A partner decision is approaching. Together, we structure the scope, requirements and evaluation criteria so offers can be compared and the selection fits the actual task.
Improve existing collaboration
Delivery, costs or responsibilities are unclear. We review collaboration with your partners and work with you to improve governance, responsibilities and delivery capacity.
Our contribution
From the decision to collaboration you can manage.
We support sourcing strategy, the business case, procurement processes and tender preparation. Alongside costs, our assessment considers quality, required skills, dependencies and the effort involved in transition and governance.
We then support partner selection, the definition of service boundaries, onboarding and organizational integration. In ongoing collaboration, clear roles, decision-making processes and suitable metrics help make performance transparent and address problems early. We agree with you which operational tasks we will take on.
How we work
Clarify the model first. Then shape the collaboration.
Assess goals and options
We review services, internal capabilities and requirements. Together, we develop a target vision and compare suitable models, including their costs, risks and organizational implications.
Prepare selection and transition
We support the tender, assess proposals and prepare the collaboration. Transitions, knowledge transfer and responsibilities are agreed before service delivery is taken over.
Manage delivery effectively
We support the launch and develop operational governance further. Performance, quality and collaboration are reviewed regularly, and necessary improvements are pursued together.
What you take away
A sound decision and clear responsibility.
Depending on the starting point, the result may be an agreed sourcing vision, a transparent basis for decisions or a prepared partner selection. Delivery also requires clearly defined services, a shared understanding of responsibilities and a workable transition.
Successful sourcing does not end when the contract is signed. Your organization needs the capability to manage external services and represent product and business goals itself. We therefore also consider the internal roles and ways of working that sustain the model in everyday operations.
In practice
