1 Focus on the core! Smartsourcing: Stay ahead by using the technology of year you live in!

2 Applying a clear strategy and goal structure can help an organization make smart decisions and maximize its relationship with its outsourcing partners

3 For some, outsourcing has made a powerful impact on growth, productivity and bottom lines Does it really matter? An overused definition says that by outsourcing the day to day back and middle office tasks, the executives have more time to focus on generating income. Entrepreneurs have long seen outsourcing as a strategy reserved for big business, but technology has made it a more accessible tool also for small to medium sized businesses--and for some, outsourcing has made a powerful impact on growth, productivity and bottom lines. As for larger organizations, recent researches suggest that almost every other major business in the world has outsourced some part of their operations.

10 Not long ago, outsourcing was simply viewed as a means to reduce various operational costs. However, as the current competition increased and new players also began to enter the market, wise organizations are now relying on outsourcing to both gain a competitive advantage while further expanding their global footprint Managed Services Business Process Re-engineering Shared Services Insourcing

11 Managed Services Business Process Re-engineering BPR involves a great deal of scoping, planning, and stakeholder management to understand the right processes to automate, reengineer or just leave alone. Most importantly, BPR starts with carefully defining the problem. Essentially, at Gadlang BPR is a problem-solving approach and set of techniques focused on defining the problem in terms of cost and impact. While this is not unique to BPR, BPR offers a robust set of approaches, tools, techniques and potential solutions that often puts the problem in perspective and uses metrics to achieve measurable and communicable results. Shared Services Gadlang proposes three models for shared services: Single function Shared Services for Accounting and Finance Initially transactional services (e.g. Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, General Accounting). Multi-Functional Shared Services With the success of singlefunction, shared Services silos by function emerged replicating the initial success (e.g. Human Resources, Procurement, Information Technology). Integrated Shared Services As many of the underlying elements and enablers are similar (e.g. Service and Project Management, Service Levels, Sourcing Methodology, Technology Enablement, Business Process Management, Knowledge Management) organizations may also prefer creating a shared services operating Unit, usually distinct from any particular functional area. Insourcing Insourcing the process of bringing back in-house the functions that had been outsourced. Insourcing seems to be more prevalent with manufacturing companies that hire labor and services from an external organization in order to cut costs and decrease their tax burden. Insourcing can also mean an organization building a new business center or facility which would specialize in a particular service or product. When do you insource? The drivers behind these decisions include: A way to remediate a troubled outsourcing relationship A healthy look at an old sourcing decision to find the right mix of in-house and outsourced services based on current business goals.
