Synopsis

Abstract

This IDC study discusses the importance of creating a robust but flexible governance model to meet the changing needs of both the end-user organisation and the service providers in outsourcing contracts. The study highlights some best practices in defining the governance framework especially within multisourced environments and provides a checklist to assist an organisation in realising the full benefits of a program governance office.

"The disparity between expectations and performance is not new to the IT outsourcing market. IDC's research has shown that there has been a long-term gap between what outsourcing clients expect and the services that are actually received. A robust governance model can provide the ability to resolve conflicts, steer the relationship as the business conditions change, and help work towards common objectives," states Melissa Martin, senior market analyst, Enterprise End-User Programmes, IDC Australia.
