17 So maybe you need to outsource? Because you can do it all. The & Procure-To-Pay Conference & Expo is produced by: 17

18 Preparation is Essential Do Your Homework: Know your processing costs staff, system and operational costs Know your key volumes for invoices, expense reports and payments, locations, languages and currencies Identify your requirements what processes do you want to outsource? Invoice processing? Accounting? Tax compliance? Identify your key stakeholders your management, your key business partners in tax, HR, technology, compliance & risk Identify the key business process outsourcers and their capabilities Understand your regulatory environment what approvals are needed for processing at an outsourced provider? Or storing data outside of your own firewall? Or outside of the originating local area? The & Procure-To-Pay Conference & Expo is produced by: 18

19 Preparation is Essential Start Your Project: Gain your management s backing Document your expected benefits draft your business case Engage with your organization s procurement team ensure that proper confidentiality agreements are in place Identify your key team what other areas need to be involved in your project? Document your requirements ensure that you give the potential suppliers solid details of the processes you are expecting them to propose on Establish key project timeline and dates Prioritize your decision criteria know what is essential Meet with potential suppliers try to narrow down your provider listing to make the selection process less complicated The & Procure-To-Pay Conference & Expo is produced by: 19

20 Preparation is Essential Key Procurement Process Stages: Document your proposal requirements (R.F.I./R.F.P.) Identify your key potential suppliers contact details Ensure any necessary non-disclosure agreements are in place Validate that any potential supplier will meet your regulatory requirements as a service provider (OFAC, financial stability, tax documentation) Distribute proposal requirements and provide opportunity for suppliers to answer questions Ensure all communications with potential vendors are documented and provide equal access to information for all responses Review responses and narrow the supplier candidates Invite suppliers to meet with you and orally explain their solution and proposal. Provide equal time and opportunity to all vendors. Fine tune any proposal financial details and clarify all responses. Evaluate the proposals and notify suppliers of your decision. The & Procure-To-Pay Conference & Expo is produced by: 20

21 Preparation is Essential When it comes down to it though, it has to make sense from a business perspective. You are going to need a positive business case Costs to Consider Run Rate Expense Impact: Staff costs do you expect to reduce head count, office space, or other costs such as paper or office products? Travel changes? Systems costs may or may not change Current outsourced systems or services are you paying for any services or systems that have some run off time before you can eliminate? One Time Transition Expense: Severance - for displaced staff Technical developments - required to support outsourcer processing Training and Communication - for processors, end users and impacted business managers Travel for transition purposes The & Procure-To-Pay Conference & Expo is produced by: 21

22 Timelines and Project Plan Key Milestone Timeline Complete RFP Requirements Identify suppliers & Distribute RFP Presentations and Q&A on RFP responses Down-select; Site visits completed Select vendor, plan transition Gain regulatory and data privacy approvals Building and driving an aggressive timeline is essential. Remember, you may face staff issues once the word is out. Lift & Shift and plan for end state Development of tech solutions Transition locations to end state solution The & Procure-To-Pay Conference & Expo is produced by: 22

23 Contract and SLA Preparation Each organization has its own requirements for dealing with contractual development, but some points that should be anticipated include the following: Contract Guidance Statement of Services to be Provided Must be clear and concise but accurately reflect all included duties to be performed including any provided systems and location of performance Confidentiality Outsourced workers will have and possibly be storing company, employee or other business confidential information and protection must be afforded in accordance with the requirements of where you do business and your business needs Business Continuity Requirements and Disaster Recovery Plans Requirements for staffing for your processing including use of any subcontractors and headcount transition Implementation responsibilities and transition activities and dates (treat as a project) Terms and Termination Expectations including renewal provisions Intellectual Property Rights Governance and Audit Requirements Warranties, Insurance and Indemnification Requirements Dispute Resolution Service Fees and Invoicing Requirements The & Procure-To-Pay Conference & Expo is produced by: 23

24 Contract and SLA Preparation Each organization has its own requirements for dealing with contractual development, but some points that should be anticipated include the following: SLA Requirements Define metrics to be provided, purpose for the SLA, expected results and measurement process Ensure that metrics include timeliness, expected volume of work to be achieved, quality levels to be observed and any system or customer service availability requirements Document expected SLA reporting requirements and timelines Identify remedy for any missed SLA measurements The & Procure-To-Pay Conference & Expo is produced by: 24

25 Oversight is Essential Prior to Outsourcing: AP FTE head count = 88 located in over 25 different locations We had a mixture of outsourcing, off-shoring and in-house processing After Outsourcing: AP FTE head count = 11 local oversight & payment processing We now have all areas outsourced (some are still in progress) Global Oversight is now provided by 9 centralized team members operating in 3 major regions: US, EMEA and APAC to cover multiple time zones. Oversight Duties include: Weekly meetings to review processing results and issues Development projects and testing Policy and Procedure development and review Oversight for reconciliation Business customer advocate KPI monitoring and SLA adherence The & Procure-To-Pay Conference & Expo is produced by: 25

26 Oversight is Essential Governance Structure The & Procure-To-Pay Conference & Expo is produced by: 26

27 A few extra words to the wise Document everything. You are now dependent upon someone else to execute your rules and processes. Take nothing for granted. If it isn t written down, it doesn t get done. Have a strong SLA in place. Make sure all processes have a defined (and agreed) deliverable. Make your service provider accountable. Keep close oversight on all processes. Require regular meetings to discuss outcome, issues and changes. Require key reporting both what you may have now but also to include SLA required results. Ensure a proper escalation and communication plan exists for your end users. Make sure your supplier addresses issues promptly. Require improvements from your service provider. Tie compensation into results. Agree to price reductions as process efficiency improves. Survey your results. Manage performance and perception with your key stakeholders. The & Procure-To-Pay Conference & Expo is produced by: 27

28 Thank you The & Procure-To-Pay Conference & Expo is produced by: 28
