Events over the last several years have changed the way companies source, buy and manage professional services. Wage inflation in India, new onshore and offshore venues and increased competition and supply options have created new opportunities and risks – requiring companies to rethink and restructure/renegotiate their strategies for sourcing professional services (IT contractors, consultants & outsourcing/offshoring providers). This presentation will highlight key “lessons learned” from Kaiser Permanente on their experiences sourcing and managing IT and professional services. PA Consulting will also present a framework for assessing and developing a “best practice” sourcing strategy for contractors, SOW and professional services categories. This session will be particularly useful for participants who are looking to re-evaluate and/or resource/renegotiate existing legacy professional services and IT offshore contractor agreements. Learn what impacts current market pricing and trends can have on how you manage your professional services categories and vendors and what risk and savings opportunities can be realized in the current marketplace.
