Sourcing and shared services are increasingly applied today, ideally to pass the benefits of increased efficiency and reduced costs directly back to organizations. Sourcing and shared services are popularly utilized for both business processes and supporting processes, especially in Information Technology (IT) management, Finance and Human Resource activities.
All sourcing projects go through a number of phases. Organizations that plan to conduct sourcing and shared services should be conscientious during these critical phases as the quality of the final sourcing relationship is greatly determined by how well these phases are completed.
As an independent expert in sourcing and shared services, Quint guides and supports clients through the process of strategic, tactical and operational decision-making.
We use our proprietary know-how, the Phase Model©, as the reference model when supervising sourcing projects. The model has been applied in practice extensively and has proven its value in supporting the management of a sourcing process.
