Vendor Relationship Management
Unlocking value from your outsourcing vendors
Vendor management (VM) has become an integral part of the IT organisation. It is becoming more important than ever for clients to consider how they extract maximum value from outsourcing arrangement, particularly in the context of multi-sourcing environments.
Outsourcing provides opportunities to leverage external expertise and scale to provide quality services at reduced cost enabling internal resources to be more focused on organisation specific activities, appropriate to their knowledge and skill. However,without effective Vendor Relationship Management, organisations are at risk of services not delivering what the business requiresand at a premium cost to the business.

- ensure prompt resolution of issues. Vender Management focuses on the transition, transform and optimise phase of the Deloitte sourcing methodology:
Industry Trends
Today Outsourcing deals are entering 3rd and 4th generation, with more demanding clients and vendors bringing more sophisticated services and offers. Companies are further seeking to set up complex multi-sourcing models across a number of service providers, leading to an awareness for:

- Developing service provider relationships as an essential and mandatory investment leading to a strong partnership
