4 Jeff Perdue Client Provider Consultant Assessor Trainer Director, ITSqc, LLC 10 years at Carnegie Mellon University as executive educator and process assessor (IT Services Qualification Center and Software Engineering Institute) 10+ years in software process improvement training and consulting 10 years in software development and software management 4

5 What is ITSqc? A university spin-off to continue and extend work begun at the university to establish best practice models and certification procedures for the global sourcing of information technologybased services. The esourcing Capability Models were developed at Carnegie Mellon University ITSqc, LLC, is the exclusive licensee of Carnegie Mellon University for the escms and related work. 5

6 escm Origins The esourcing Capability Models were originally developed at Carnegie Mellon University. The escms and related training courses were originally developed by the ITSqc (Information Technology Services Qualification Center) at Carnegie Mellon University. Funding for this work at Carnegie Mellon was provided by Consortium Members and sponsors, including Accenture, CA, COPPE/UFRJ, DBA, Deloitte, EDS, HP, IACCM, IAOP, IBM, itsmf Brasil, itsmf US, La Poste, Mellon Financial Services, Outsourcing Institute, Phoenix Health Systems, Satyam, STQC (Gov t of India), TPI, and others under NDA 6

7 What is esourcing? 7

8 esourcing IT-enabled sourcing, or esourcing, uses information technology as a key component of service delivery or as an enabler for delivering services. 8

9 esourcing Characteristics Relationships usually last a long time. Integration between client and service provider is complex. Delivery of services is typically networked, or highly dependent on information technology. There is repetition of service delivery. Often global in scope. 9

10 Types of esourcing esourcing today includes: Information Technology sourcing (ITO) Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Knowledge Process sourcing (KPO)! Data mining and analysis! Patent and invention discovery! Customer/consumer surveys/analysis Legal Process sourcing (LPO)! Transcription of formal proceedings! Litigation or arbitration discovery! Preparation of routine legal documents 1 0

11 Types of Sourcing Relationships Traditional: a single service provider delivers service to a single client. Co-sourcing: two service providers work together to deliver service to a single client. Multi-sourcing: multiple service providers provide services to a single client. Alliance: multiple service providers collaborate to serve one or more clients. Joint Venture: multiple service providers form a collaborative business venture to serve one or more clients. Insourcing: onshore or offshore, internal specialist provider or shared services center 1 1

12 Sourcing Relationships The escms apply to all types of sourcing relationships. 1 2

13 Origins of escms 13

14 Global growth of sourcing Billion Dollars ITO BPO Year Harris, J., et al Forecast: Outsourcing Worldwide Forecast Database. Gartner, Inc. 1 4

15 While many sourcing relationships are successful, many are not 50% ARE RENEGOTIATED Sourcing Contracts Over half of all outsourcing clients report having renegotiated a contract and in nearly 25% of these the original service provider lost the account. 1 25% OF THESE ARE LOST 1 Gartner Group, Dataquest s Market Forecast for Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) 2 Dun & Bradstreet, The Barometer of Global Outsourcing, 1 5

16 Primary Causes of these Failures Criteria for success are not well understood or agreed up front. Trade-offs between providing better service, faster service, or cheaper service are not always fully articulated. Clients often have little experience in outsourcing and have no standard criteria for selecting a service provider. The transfer of people, equipment and knowledge between the client and service provider is often problematic. Service providers often have trouble analyzing and reporting their progress in terms that are meaningful to clients. Requirements are not fully understood or specified. 1 6

17 Challenge of Existing Frameworks Problems or failures occur throughout the sourcing process Sourcing process Steady-state delivery Focus of most quality models Focus of escm Models 1 7

18 Executive Summary Overlap of Key Models Most standards/models have content overlap! Often based on Total Quality Management (TQM) and Deming s plan-do-check-act principles! Usually focus on documenting processes and following that documentation! Some core topics show up in most models: project management, configuration management, quality assurance, measurement! For example: ISO 9001 requires process management rigor that is also required by CMMI and escm-sp; similarly Six Sigma techniques would help meet requirements for CMMI and escm-sp, particularly at Level 4-5 Each industry standard/model has a sweet spot or particular area of focus where the model is most beneficial. For example:! CMMI is particularly focused on systems development and maintenance! escm-sp is focused on IT-enabled sourcing! COPC is focused on customer care! ITIL is focused on IT Service Management ISO 9000: focus on process standards and management Quality Management System Systems Integration CMMI: focus on systems development/ maintenance escm-sp: focus on ITenabled sourcing Six Sigma: focus on data-driven decision making/improvement Outsourcing & BPO Source: Accenture. Used with permission ITIL: focus on IT Service Management 1 8

19 Origins of escms and Development Approach escms developed by team whose origin was authors of the SW-CMM, People-CMM, CMMI and ISO standards expertise as well as diagnostic methods backgrounds! Hefley, Paulk, Perdue, and Siegel Major steps for developing the models and capability determination methods included:! Extensive literature review! Model architecture review! Incorporating and documenting best practices Wherever feasible, made recommended best practices compatible with existing quality models and standards! Advisory Board review (included industry experts and 2 past directors of SW Process Program)! Modifications to incorporate feedback! Developed capability determination methods! Empirical testing of model and capability determination methods (piloting) Pilot tested model practices with method (U.S. and offshore, multiple markets and services)! Posting of Model for broad technical review / public review! Release of the models via web site and publications (Books in 2009) escm-sp development began in 2000, released V1 in 2001, v1.1 in 2002, V2 in 2004, V2.01 in 2006 escm-cl development began in 2003, released V1 in 2005, v1.1 in

20 The escm-sp and escm-cl are designed to be complementary Models, addressing both sides of a sourcing relationship 2 0

57 The esourcing Capability Determination Methods 57

58 Using the Models: How The 2 basic ways of using an escm are:! 1. Capability Determinations (organizational diagnostics) A formal and reliable method for determining the compliance of an organization with the Practices of an escm (either escm-sp or escm-cl) There are 6 types (variants) of the CapabilityDetermination Method! 2. Capability Improvement (guiding improvement) The model serves as a (partial) set of requirements for an organization s processes Organizations use the escm as a roadmap or guide to improve their processes 58

59 Uses of escm-sp By clients! Use evaluations to determine provider capabilities! Evaluate multiple potential providers in a consistent and comparable manner! Reduce risks in sourcing relationships By service providers! Systematically assess their existing capabilities! Improve their capability to form, manage, and expand sourcing relationships with clients! Demonstrate their capability through Certification! Reduce risk of failure 59

60 Uses of escm-cl By clients! Use escm-cl Practices to guide implementation of improved sourcing processes and procedures! Use self-appraisals (or evaluations) to determine sourcing capability! Improve their capability to form, manage, and expand sourcing relationships with service providers! Reduce risks in sourcing relationships! Demonstrate their capability through Certification By service providers! To understand their client s capability! To encourage their clients to adopt the escm-cl so that both organizations can benefit from joint adoption 60

66 Experiences from implementing escm-sp and escm-cl 66 6

67 Companies using the escm-cl Case Study #1: Use of the Client Model TPI assisted a health care company utilize the escm-cl model to set up a corporate Center of Expertise (COE) to lead and facilitate the entire sourcing lifecycle throughout the enterprise Context and Business Benefits: The company had historically been a significant user of outsourcing services, but the initiatives were all done on a piecemeal basis with no overarching strategy or synergies The existing sourcing relationships were managed individually by each business unit with no visibility into overall spend and management practices The escm-cl model provided a neutral view of best practices that were used to initiate dialogue throughout the enterprise The COE was set up to be an internal consulting and reporting function to increase visibility, use, and sharing of best practices and strategic direction for sourcing The company has rationalized the number and use of service providers to create more synergies and strategic partnerships at the enterprise level 67

68 Companies using the escm-cl Case Study #3: Client Use of the Service Provider Model TPI and the ITSqc assisted a multi-national company address issues with their existing service provider through the use of the escm-sp model Context and Business Benefit: The company had historically received unsatisfactory services from its incumbent service provider This resulted in a lack of trust which threatened the continued use of the service provider TPI and the ITSqc worked with both the client organization and the service provider to identify pain points and how the best practices in the escm-sp model could help address the existing issues in the service provider s delivery model The client and service provider amended their contractual agreement to include a long-term quality improvement plan with milestones and financial implications to improve the existing service Created a win-win: the client has received improved service delivery and the service provider has kept (and grown) the business with a more satisfied client 68

69 Benefits from using the escm-cl Framework The only best practices model covering all the sourcing processes across the sourcing lifecycle including! Sourcing Policy,! Agreement phase,! Implementation and day-to-day sourced services management,! Completion Common language for better mutual understanding (both for client organization, as well as with service providers) Clear roles and responsibilities assignment for better efficiency Using the escm-cl framework as a roadmap or guide to continuously improve the organization s sourcing processes Compatible with, and complementary to, other best practices models implemented or being implemented within La Poste (CobiT, ITIL, CMMI, ISO 27001) 69
