Sourcing

The formulation of a strategy and a governance model for sourcing IT/ICT products and services, aligned with industry best practices and based on established methodologies, not only enables access to cutting-edge technologies and services but also serves as a driver for increased operational efficiency and cost optimization.

A well-defined sourcing strategy allows organizations to achieve tangible benefits by identifying and adopting the most suitable solutions for their needs. A well-structured governance model ensures effective monitoring of sourcing activities, guaranteeing compliance with quality, time, and cost standards.

Incorporating industry best practices and adopting established methodologies provide a solid and reliable framework for managing sourcing activities, helping to minimize risks and maximize benefits. This approach allows organizations to navigate the ever-evolving IT/ICT landscape, addressing challenges with a strategic vision and fully leveraging the opportunities presented by emerging technologies.

Over the years we have developed proven methodologies for the management of tenders, both in the public and private sectors, and we have contributed to the achievement of substantial savings through our critical spending analysis activities.

In particular, we are active in the following fields:

 

  • Definition of sourcing strategies, as well as the definition of the Make or Buy mix and its governance model.
  • Evaluation of the supplier portfolio aimed at benchmarking and rationalizing expenditure.
  • Execution of market surveys in relation to products and services by means of light-RFI.
  • Drafting of invitations to tender (RFP/Q) for supplies and management of the tender itself.
  • Support for the drafting of contract documents and definition of KPIs, SLAs and monitoring tools.
  • Definition of solution and product handovers.
