The pace of technology change is rapidly increasing, disrupting established organizations on multiple levels. Digital, mobility, intelligent automation, and other trends are enabling smaller competitors to capture larger market share with less physical and financial assets than incumbents. Industries are also converging, as technology competent businesses look for opportunities in adjacent markets. Simply put, a new way of delivering technology is required to capitalize on this market opportunity. All of these factors can put organizations in a defensive position, but an understanding how strategic sourcing and partnerships can help puts an organization back on the offense in this dynamic environment.

The opportunity

Sourcing and strategic partnerships have emerged as a key capability for operating model transformation. It is well known that sourcing can reduce the cost of labor; but, in today's environment, sourcing is increasingly enhancing business operations through access to new technologies, capabilities, and operating model structures that result in better processes, customer service, and business effectiveness while driving continued cost savings. We help clients use strategic sourcing and partnerships to drive competitive advantages and create more sustainable cost structures. We serve our clients across several key dimensions of the sourcing life cycle:

• Strategy Development

• Vendor evaluation and selection

• Structuring of commercial arrangements

• Transition and transformation management

• Vendor governance and benefits realization

We are looking for individuals with outstanding technical, consulting, and leadership skills to be a part of our next phase of growth.
