Your outsourcing partner is being acquired by a non-European company. The service continues, but how do you remain in control?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, we saw that when an acquisition by an American or Chinese party, it rarely leads to changes or disruption of service delivery. SLAs remain valid, teams continue working, and operations run smoothly. However, with current geopolitical developments, things could turn out differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The real question lies elsewhere: have you ensured that you can keep control over your data and IT environment in your own hands?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizations that have thought about their sourcing foundation in advance do not perceive such an acquisition as a risk, but as confirmation of good preparation. They have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • full control over the IT architecture and proprietary data encryption<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • a detailed exit strategy, even before it is needed<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • contractually established exit rights in the event of an acquisition<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    This makes dependency manageable and choices explicit. Not out of mistrust, but out of professional client management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Acquisitions are therefore not a \u201cred button,\u201d but a moment when it becomes clear how mature your IT governance setup is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Do you remain the owner of your IT, even if the supplier changes?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
