Why does Vendor Management matter?

3

Our research indicates that many clients are not fully satisfied with the outcomes of their outsourced arrangements. This does not necessarily mean that they intend to terminate, but there may be questions around:

• Is the contract meeting my original business case outcomes?• Are my staff receiving the quality of service I expected?• Am I paying more than I expected due to “additional costs”?• Is my Vendor focussing on the contract rather than the relationship?• Am I focussing on the contract rather than the relationship?

Effective Vendor Management will help ensure that you know the answers to all of the above, and should ensure that you are managing the Vendor appropriately to ensure a positive outcome

Vendor Management must be established at the outset, not as an afterthought
