We are all about...
An organization’s success, whether related to their infrastructure, software platforms, or development capabilities, is heavily dependent on the processes employed in assessing, selecting, and managing its core service providers. Fluid Sourcing provides end-to-end transaction services for complex technology categories to help our clients secure the best performance, price, contract terms, responsiveness and flexibility from vendors and service providers. We have deep expertise and specialized knowledge in the actual technologies – experience that comes from practitioners who were former CIOs, industry executives in major technology companies, and Big 4 technology consulting partners and senior managers. We leverage this expertise to help clients:
- Align the technology vendor portfolio with the business objectives of the organization, addressing critical issues such as the degree of consolidation, outsource vs. in-source delivery, on-shore vs off-shore, and application and asset rationalization
- Ensure that the selection, implementation, and integration of new technologies directly take into account the impact to both upstream and downstream applications, as well as infrastructure investments
- Identify the organizational and operational changes necessary as a result of a transition to new technologies and vendors and communicate such changes to business stakeholders
- Achieve optimal results through the negotiation process
- Establish and/or optimize the vendor management function to maximize vendor performance and extract greater ongoing value from negotiated agreement.
