Outsourcing Life Cycle: Sourcing Management and Sourcing Transition
1.
Sourcing Management and
Sourcing Transition
2.
Sourcing Management and
Sourcing Transition 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 It is very important to constantly evaluate the outsourcerâs performance against evaluation criteria on a regular basis. The essence of product outsourcing is that it shifts a company's focus from managing resources in managing results. So outsourcing demands a more advanced approach to performance management, one that ensures that the desired results are defined clearly and reflect the company's true requirements. Also an outsourcing management approach makes certain that the outsourcing results are reported © Altoros Systems 2

Sourcing Management and
Sourcing Transition regularly and quickly adjusted as needed. It is very important to constantly evaluate the outsourcerâs performance against evaluation criteria on a regular basis. As software development companies move to measuring performance of their outsourcing initiatives and SLA-based outsourcing relationships, metrics assume critical importance. Proper selection of metrics is a key to motivating the right expectations and establishing success criteria for a successful relationship in order to maintain R&D quality and monitor the support and maintenance activities. Some of the metrics which can be used are: 1. Number of problem requests (PR) per day/week/month 2. Mean time / Average time / Average resources required to resolve a PR 3. Number of code fixes per day/week/month 4. Average number of lines of code affected per PR 5. Average time spent for PR that requires code modification 6. Response time The above are only a few of the metrics that can be collected to track and measure performance. Similar metrics should be collected in areas like testing, release management, customer satisfaction etc. In cases that the outsourcing process or end-result is complicated, sub-categories or criteria should be set. Table 2.1.1. Criteria and Sub criteria of Outsourcing Evaluation Experience Specialized knowledge and skill-set of a team. Communication Detailed and frequent reporting. Fast response. Contract uphold On - time delivery. Contract terms uphold. Efficiency Projects delivered on time and on budget. High quality end-product. Goal achievement. Source: Avlonitis G. Therefore software companies need consider the following guidelines when choosing metrics for offshore outsourcing performance management: 1. Select metrics that correspond to factors within control of each party 2. Select metrics that motivate both parties to improve the relationship 3. Seek to collect a manageable amount of information. 4. Set baseline and target values. Although it is easy to overwhelm the outsourcing relationship with performance management standards, Independent Software Vendors need to consider maturity of their software engineering processes and choose metrics that are objective, produce a reasonable volume of data, and are easy to collect at minimal expense. The objective in metrics-based performance management is to be able to measure and adjust performance, gradually build a successful and strategic relationship between client and provider. © Altoros Systems 3

Sourcing Management and
Sourcing Transition Although it is easy to overwhelm the outsourcing relationship with performance management standards, Independent Software Vendors need to consider maturity of their software engineering processes and choose metrics that are objective. Just as organizations have a disaster recovery plans that they create yearly, so should software companies have an exit plan for any outsourcing relationship. It might be disaster recover or even BOT (Build-Operate-Transfer) â a business model leveraged by companies that are seeking to establish a R&D initiative but are not ready to invest and take responsibilities and manage risks before realizing the benefits of a dedicated or captive engineering facility offshore. The model allows companies to set up operations with minimal investment while leveraging a localized partner who executes both a comprehensive build and operate program and implements IT best practices subsequently transferring the operation to client ownership. During this phase, a software company should evaluate the outcomes of current outsourcing engagement, compare its initial goals and expectations against outsourcerâs performance and make a qualified decision on how to evolve the relationship with outsourcing service provider in order to achieve strategic objectives. ïŒ One must outsource the "bottlenecks", the things that are really keeping the company from growing profitably. ïŒ One must pick great partners, check them out and speak to their customers. ïŒ Once outsourcing is done, the outsourcer must be regarded as part of the company and treated as such. ïŒ One must demand excellence, since outsourcing is what the outsourcer does for a living. ïŒ Outsourcing might scare employees. One must communicate honestly with them. ïŒ Fear of loss of control. ïŒ Work viewed as too strategic. ïŒ Company's unique culture. ïŒ Measuring the value. Source: Corbet M. F. 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. Renat Khasanshyn is CEO of Altoros Systems, Inc. www.altoros.com © Altoros Systems 4
