Background

Deloitte's three-part series, "Beyond outsourcing" outlines three key actions we believe organisations should consider in their efforts to maximise savings, reduce risk and identify the optimal functional service delivery solution for each segment of a business process.

Key findings

Beyond outsourcing – Part 1: Understanding the total cost of ownership
If you're considering an accelerated business process outsourcing contract, it's important to take your time and build a Total Cost of Ownership business case first. Without this crucial step, you're likely to leave significant savings on the table, especially if your company has complex processes. This step is particularly important in view of today's challenging economy.

Beyond outsourcing – Part 2: The importance of developing a global end-to-end process view
Defining end-to-end business processes globally, focussing on the "what, where and how", is a critical precursor step in assessing the complexity and value of any potential service delivery and outsourcing solution.

Beyond outsourcing – Part 3: Understanding the factors that determine appropriate service delivery solutions
If your company is considering an accelerated business process outsourcing contract without analysing the impacts of outsourcing process fragments, you are likely to leave significant savings on the table – or worse, disrupt critical operations.
