Outsourcing Life Cycle: Assessment / Business Case
1.
Assessment / Business
Case

Assessment / Business
Case According to McKinsey research, in 2005 only 4-8% of worldwide large offshore software engineering market is related to packaged software R&D, and most of that has occurred only in the last 4-5 years. Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) and Application Service Providers (ASPs) are challenged to innovate faster than its competition and deliver their products to market first, supplement their development teams and re-balance their development priorities in order to accelerate revenue generation. Management and investors want to lower total cost of ownership and increase shareholder value. Due to the standardization of software engineering processes, pricing pressure and margin compression, evolving enterprise customer expectations, software companies are forced with the task of delivering more complex product development with limited and decreasingly time frames. Accelerating consolidation activity is a symptom of increasing competitive pressure, which is in turn driven by fundamental changes in customers' purchasing behavior. To overcome all or some of the above problems more and more software companies turn to Product Outsourcing i.e. hiring external vendors to develop a product for the company. The life cycle of an outsourcing engagement for software company usually consists of six distinct phases. The diagram below illustrates their chronological order and the way they build on each other (Exhibit 2.1): Exhibit 2.1 With industry analyst firm Gartner Inc. stating that more than 50% of outsourcing fails, the approach and execution of your outsourcing decisions are critical. Software vendors are challenged with how be able to effectively make decisions on what applications should be outsourced offshore, what should be kept in- house, upgraded or retired. To forge a successful outsourcing strategy, independent software vendors and application service providers should conduct an offshore outsourcing “readiness” assessment. The assessment should be equally applied to software vendors considering outsourcing for the first time, or to clients who wish to improve an existing outsource supply as it helps align the strategic corporate and R&D goals and tactical objectives of an outsourcing engagement. © Altoros Systems 2

Assessment / Business
Case The results of the assessment will provide a software organization with much of the information required to make key decisions and to focus management effort. The assessment can help examine the ability of a software development organization to outsource, looking at procedures and processes maturity, experience, management tools and ROI objectives. The assessment may cover four segments of organizational readiness, each providing a discrete evaluation of part of the organization and its processes and expectations: 1. Business Objectives Readiness 2. Software Development Processes Maturity Readiness 3. Cultural Readiness 4. Financial Expectations (Desired vs. feasible ROI) The assessment may apply maturity models based on SEI CMM and ITIL principles. Data for assessment may be gathered from: 1. Questionnaires 2. Interviews 3. Discussion with product managers and application owners 4. Study of product roadmaps, maintenance plans and application/code base inventory Deliverables may include: 1. Outsourcing Readiness Report 2. ROI analysis 3. Application/Project Sequencing Plan 4. Engagement Roadmap When reviewing product roadmaps, maintenance plans and application/code base inventory, the following criteria are recommended to assess readiness of specific applications/processes: 1. Skill alignment with current/future technology direction 2. Current cost of operation 3. Application maturity 4. Alignment to business (core, context, utility) 5. Business value 6. Business satisfaction 7. Functional completeness 8. Technical completeness 9. Rate of change 10. Technology platform 11. Associated cluster 12. Perceived risk profile With industry analyst firm Gartner Inc. stating that more than 50% of outsourcing fails, the approach and execution of your outsourcing decisions are critical. Software vendors are challenged with how be able to effectively make decisions on what applications should be outsourced offshore, what should be kept in- house, upgraded or retired. © Altoros Systems 3

Assessment / Business
Case Table 2.1 Short term project-based view Long term strategic ROI view Focus on head-count based cost Focus on Innovation, TTM, Cost reduction Significant overhead may outweigh Benefits far outweigh costs cost savings Not sustainable in the long run Sustainable time and cost efficiencies However, regardless of business model, sustainable time and cost efficiencies of outsourcing and whether it can be successful or not depends on how it is designed, implemented and managed. Software companies often hire contractors for particular types of work and have formed long-term relationships with firms whose capabilities complement or supplement their own. That is why sometimes strategic outsourcing is mistaken with tactical subcontracting. The difference between subcontracting and outsourcing is that the latter involves the most efficient reconstructing of particular business activities by utilizing external partnerships. Software vendors should carefully evaluate available business models before making a selection. Regardless of size and maturity, offshore outsourcing is on the agenda of early staged, mid-sized and large software companies for many different reasons. Cost reduction is typically the basis for offshore outsourcing, but the big picture for ISVs and ASPs is to build, retain and maintain its customer base by constant innovation. Global outsourcing is an option vendors are exploring to remain cost competitive as operational difficulties associated with global outsourcing are gradually removed. Having the right strategic offshore roadmap and governance model is critical. Outsourcing strategy checklist BACKGROUND INFORMATION Why outsourcing is needed? How can outsourcing by used as a strategic tool? What are the expectations from outsourcing? DECISION MAKING Who will decide what to outsource? Who will select the outsourcer? Who will approve variations to the outsourcing agreement? Who will approve budgets, timelines and deliverables? COMMUNICATION With whom should the company communicate? What will the outsourcer want to know and when? What is the best way to conduct communications? ENSURING A SUCCESSFUL OUTSOURCING PROCESS © Altoros Systems 4

Assessment / Business
Case What are the critical success factors? What are the risks? How does one overcome risks or problems? What are the assumptions to be made before proceeding? RESPONSIBILITIES What are the company's responsibilities? What are the outsourcers? What knowledge - skills are required? ASSETS - STAFF AND LICENSES What assets, staff or licenses need to be acquired? What assets, staff or licenses need to be transferred? What assets, staff or licenses need to be redeployed? What assets, staff or licenses need to be disposed of? OBLIGATIONS - LEGAL MATTERS Are there copies of all arrangements and agreements? Is there any consent to be obtained from third parties? Are there any obligations after the outsourcing process begins? Renat Khasanshyn is CEO of Altoros Systems, Inc. www.altoros.com © Altoros Systems 5
