FW members get help to negotiate the complex and shifting world of outsourcing

Even in the best of times, outsourcing requires careful planning and structuring to deliver full value. But in the face of growing economic uncertainty and increasing market complexity, outsourcing arrangements demand an even higher level of scrutiny and focus by the CFO.

It is important to ensure the evaluation of potential service providers by thoroughly assessing the impact of the economic crisis on their current and future operations to understand the risk perspective for your organisation, as well as identifying additional value extraction opportunities.

New locations (nearshore/offshore) may now offer an attractive proposition to structure the delivery model of technology services for you, so which vendors are in a good position to help with that?
