Outsourcer Evaluations

Client Need Summary:

There are times when you need to outsource projects and/or responsibilities to get a job done efficiently. This may be due to special skills required, short term requirements or just budgetary issues. Why select a service provider just based on price when there is much more to consider. A cheap price can often result in a cheap product. Consider all aspects of the project requirements before making a selection.

Approach:

To perform an effective evaluation of providers of outsourcing, we need to do the following:

  • Create a list of functions / tasks to be outsourced.
  • Identify a skill set required to perform those functions / tasks.
  • Create a list of potential providers of the service you wish to outsource
  • Conduct interviews with the list of potential candidates and match their skill sets to your required skill sets.
  • Present a list of prioritized candidates who we feel are capable of providing the desired service.

he Solution:

A complete evaluation of the outsourcing potential will guarantee that you select the one who will provide the best service for you. This type of evaluation will temporarily remove the pricing issue and allow you to concentrate on the service being offered. After you have evaluated the actual service, and the skill sets offered, and prioritized their offering, then you can compare the pricing. This evaluation will provide you with the best of both worlds to make your selection.
