Assessment

 

The assessment phase of the engagement involves aggregation and understanding of the client's processes, identifying the processes that can be outsourced, articulating the risk around these processes and developing a business case for the client.

 

Certain pre-requisites, if addressed, can facilitate assessment significantly:

Identification of an outsourcing champion/ resource within the organization
Alignment of outsourcing strategy with the corporate strategy
Establishment of clear timelines around the outsourcing initiative

 

How econnoisseur can help in Assessment

 

econnoisseur has conducted several highly successful assessment studies for its clients, where our objectivity and execution have helped build client confidence. We depute processes and domain experts to work with client teams to develop an optimal off-shoring strategy that is consistent with a client's unique requirements.

 

econnoisseur's well defined Assessment process has led to clients shortening the vendor selection cycle by up-to 50%.

Post assessment

The business case developed at the end of the assessment exercise usually forms the basis for client senior management to discuss the off-shoring strategy internally. Once the decision to off-shore has taken place, clients normally form a Project Management Team to take the engagement to the next phase or embark on a vendor selection process.
