StrikeSource

The StrikeSource Solutions Suite is a set of tools and methodology to assess and successfully implement the appropriate sourcing (shared services, in-sourcing, out-sourcing, off-shoring) model for a company’s functional areas. The assessment identifies in detail the functional areas of the company which are candidates for sourcing change. It then maps them to the correct approach, whether Shared Services, Out-Sourcing, In-Sourcing or Off-shoring. Changing the sourcing model within an organization, while avoiding unintended consequences, is a difficult strategy to execute. Many lessons have been learned on how to and how not to do it. Experienced companies consider the total cost of ownership rather than just a reduced hourly rate. The desired benefits do not always materialize as additional management overhead is incurred along with communication gaps and quality issues thereby diminishing anticipated cost savings. StrikeSource can certify an organization to confidently move through the muddy waters of selecting appropriate sourcing models and thereby providing the maximum return on investment for the enterprise.
