Maximize the benefits of the organization's IT supplier sourcing practices (for example, insourcing, outsourcing, etc.) by aligning them with the organization's wider strategic priorities.
Specify the sourcing objectives (for example, quality, cost, flexibility, risk, innovation, agility, sustainability, and social responsibilities), and the criteria used to evaluate and select suppliers.
Select the sourcing models that best support the organizational sourcing strategy. For example, this could involve using internal or third-party providers, single or multiple providers, microsourcing, or cloud sourcing.
