IT Sourcing Consulting
How to find sourcing partners at eye level
A successful IT organization that wants to drive forward the core competencies of its business in a targeted manner relies on a large number of high-quality service providers. However, choosing the right partners and establishing long-term partnerships are challenging but crucial steps. A customized sourcing strategy is essential for an effective IT structure. This is where expert advice from experienced service providers such as Ventum Consulting can provide valuable assistance.
Companies are faced with the challenge of outsourcing their tasks and finding partners who not only comply with SLAs but also have a comprehensive understanding of the customer’s business environment in order to offer real added value. Strict compliance with the GDPR data protection guidelines is mandatory. It is therefore of great importance to design clear and precise tendering processes to transparently outline what specific services can be expected during implementation and how they will add value to the client’s business.

Only then do we structure and prepare the tender for you, either on our own or together with your relevant specialist departments. We design tenders in such a way that you do not experience any surprises when introducing new technologies during the term of your contract, receive a competitive price-performance ratio and stay within your budget. Our expertise is based on years of market knowledge and we advise on the selection of the service providers to be invited. To evaluate the bids, we provide your specialist departments with informative overviews that simplify and speed up the evaluation process. We automate the requirements documentation so that we can concentrate fully on your individual needs. We also support you in selecting the best partner, drafting and negotiating contracts and managing and implementing the subsequent IT transition.

ensures success
We don't want to sell you a tool - we are completely independent when it comes to selecting applications and partners. Our aim is always to find the best solution for you. We attach great importance to a sourcing process that takes into account the operation, quality and sustainability of the new solution from the outset and considers the impact on the organization, processes and architecture. We know that a successful process requires not only the selection of the optimal partner, but also seamless integration into your existing structure. The processes defined in the contract must be implemented consistently from the outset. That is why we only consider our work for you to be successfully completed when the new partner is not only on board, but has also been effectively put into operation. We act as your trusted advisor when it comes to sourcing - as a partner you can rely on at every stage of the process.

Relevance, methods and the key to success
The relevance of efficient and successful IT sourcing
Efficient and successful IT sourcing is of central importance for a company’s success and strategic orientation. A smart strategy not only enables the optimization of existing cost structures, but also targeted access to expanded resources and the latest technologies. In practice, it has been shown time and again that companies without a well thought-out sourcing strategy fall into costly traps. Common mistakes include unclear objectives, a lack of analysis of their own (future) requirements and neglecting long-term effects. Such mistakes can lead to considerable financial losses, quality problems and a lack of flexibility.
Companies run the risk of relying on outdated technologies, not being able to react agilely to market changes and losing competitive advantages as a result. There is also a risk of security gaps and data protection problems if partners are not carefully selected. Without a clear sourcing strategy, it will be difficult for companies to focus on their core competencies and drive innovation. This is where our IT sourcing consulting comes in, not only by helping you to avoid mistakes, but also by developing a customized sourcing strategy that is tailored to your individual needs and goals. . With this clear view, many years of experience and tried-and-tested methods, we accompany you successfully through the entire process.
