Selective Sourcing Options Analysis for Information Technology.
Information Technology (IT) or Information Services (IS) are unique as compared to other organizational resources which have been successfully selectively sourced in the past. There are six characteristics associated with IT/IS which are different from other sourcing opportunities:
- Information Technology evolves rapidly.
- Information Technology's underlying economics change rapidly.
- Information Services penetration in all governments is occurring simultaneously.
- IT/IS supplier switching costs are high.
- Customers are relatively inexperienced with IS outsourcing.
- IS management practices rather than economies of scale lead to economic effectiveness.
The selective sourcing analysis decision support tool is designed to determine the viability of selectively sourcing IT/IS services.
