The short-term approach: procurement organization

A procurement organization focuses primarily on price. The goal is clear: lower costs, fast results. This works well for commodity products. But with complex IT services and outsourcing contracts, there's a risk: focusing on price can lead to suboptimal agreements, limited flexibility, and higher costs in the long run.

The strategic approach: sourcing consultant

A sourcing consultant looks beyond the obvious. Through in-depth market knowledge, sharp substantive inquiries, and a focus on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), a foundation for quality, innovation, and continuity is created. It's not just about the lowest price, but about the best value over the entire contract lifecycle. Consider:

• Control over performance through clear SLAs and KPIs
• Risk management through robust contracts
• Future-proofing through flexibility and exit strategies
