Make or Buy / Outsourcing Analysis
ISG is uniquely positioned to help companies perform Make or Buy analyses, develop business cases, and manage outsourcing selection processes. This service addresses several key questions and issues:
- Should a process, function, or production effort be outsourced?
- Does it make more sense to invest in a non-core operation or to outsource it and focus resources on core competencies?
- What are the trade-offs and how do you make an intelligent, informed decision with so many variables?
- And by the way, we need to present the findings to the Board next month...
These are major multivariate decisions and the economics are complex. ISG has the analytical sophistication to model total internal costs and the ability to reach out into the marketplace, sometimes anonymously, to determine external alternatives. We understand the subtle non-cost issues as well.
The value we bring includes speed, experience, and a complete lack of bias or entangling relationships. Our objectivity brings facts and logic to what can be an emotionally-charged decision.
ISG has helped companies determine whether to off-shore call centers, to outsource logistics, to sell off an in-house fulfillment operation, to outsource the production of key components, and make many other board level decisions.
