Our purpose is to deliver expert, pragmatic advice to our clients, in three specific areas:
Sourcing
Right sourcing can be the key to your business success. The challenge is to decide on the best sourcing strategies from a number of options that include outsourcing, insourcing, offshoring or establishing shared service centres. One thing is for sure, ‘one size does not fit all’. We can advise and support you to make the right sourcing decision for your business and help you to find the right service providers, for your specific needs by managing RFPs or agile sourcing approaches.
Recent world events have demonstrated how much we all rely on a global supply chain. Whilst it is difficult to safeguard against a global pandemic such as COVID-19, strategic / right sourcing can help mitigate geographical risks, spread the operational and commercial risk and provide service resilience.
Getting the sourcing answer right leads to:
- Value creation to your business
- Commercial flexibility
- Robust business continuity
- Operational / commercial risk reduction
- Reduced time to market for your products and services
- Increased capacity when you need it
- Cost reduction and improved bottom line
- Increased skills and capability
- Improved quality of services
Contracting
Negotiating a new sourcing contract with a new or an existing supplier, or re-negotiating an existing contract can be complex and time consuming. Sourcing contracts create significant risks given that they are often multi-year contracts, concern services that impact the business in significant ways and can be costly if they need to be terminated early.
Ascea is able to provide experienced people who have a deep understanding of the sourcing process and the commercial risks and opportunities. They can help you to ensure the contracts we agree are entirely fit for purpose, drive the right behaviours and lead to you realising the expected value from the arrangement.
Effective contracting leads to:
- Faster contracting
- Fair market deals
- Less management time spent in negotiations
- Greater service flexibility from the contract
- Win-win supplier relationships from the start of the arrangement
- Robust service continuity and resilience
- Operational / commercial / data risk reduction
- Avoiding ‘devil in the detail’ issues later in the relationship
- Effective exit arrangements
