Why Hire a Sourcing Advisor?

Source: Alsbridge, Inc.

It is accepted good practice that organizations choosing to outsource any of their business functions engage an Outsourcing Advisor in order to minimize risk and avoid the pitfalls which result in unsustainable deals. But how do you find the right advisor for you? Alsbridge offer unrivalled knowledge and expertise in the marketplace, along with world-class experience at all phases of the outsourcing life cycle. We´re committed to providing you with impartial and unbiased advice, with a mutual objective to help you take the best possible course of action for your organization:

We help you achieve the deal which is right for you

All deals are different. We can help you to understand the options available and align them with your business objectives. And as independent advisors, we can help you make your case to stakeholders by building collaboration to get them onboard right from the start, preventing conflict down the line.

We know the market

The outsourcing landscape is difficult to navigate due to the ever expanding list of suppliers, locations and service offerings. Because we deal with them on a daily basis, we know the major players, what they can offer, what works and what doesn´t.

We offer guidance when you need it

If outsourcing isn´t the answer, we´ll say so. But assuming it is, we will help you at every phase from defining the scope of the services to be outsourced, right through to training your people so they are level with - or ahead of - your potential suppliers.

Our collaborative methodology gets consistent buy-in

There´s no magic formula to structuring successful deals but our FastSource ™ methodology combined with SAS™ toolkit ensures consistent buy-in from both client and supplier side. The usual arm´s length approach to dealing with suppliers is quite simply a no-no. We facilitate collaboration so that when the deal is done the relationship is as b as the contract.

We´ll help you build sustainable deals

At Alsbridge, we encourage the supplier to design the solution rather than asking them to bid against a pre-specified solution. It makes sense - the market has the experience and knowledge. Time is then spent co-developing scenarios of change so that both parties know how they will work together in an uncertain future, resulting in sustainable deals.

We have knowledge of offshore locations throughout the world

With global presence across North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, we understand the offshore landscape. We have helped set up and run operations in locations around the world.

We´ve worked in every sector and have deep functional expertise

From public sector to financial; manufacturing to retail, Alsbridge consultants have functional experience at every level of BPO, IT and HR outsourcing.

We are the experts you can trust

Our partners have been key players in the outsourcing industry since the pioneering BP deals in the early nineties. We have participated in complex deals across all industries ever since, helping build the very best contracts and solutions for our clients.
