A clear division of accountability between internal governance, suppliers and ecosystem partners.

Independent IT sourcing advisory for complex organisations
Aquizzit helps complex organisations turn retain, partner and outsource choices into a governable IT sourcing model. The advisory connects architecture, security, cost, market engagement, contracts, transition and governance.
Dependencies
Insight into lock-in, continuity, data, knowledge and critical subcontractors.
Ecosystem governance
Agreements that make cooperation across services and suppliers workable.
In depth
A sourcing model fitted to the organisation
The right IT sourcing model is rarely simply full outsourcing or full internal delivery. Cloud, network, workplace, applications, security and service integration each require conscious ownership decisions.
Aquizzit assesses which capabilities are strategic, where the market adds scale and which internal governance must remain. The outcome is a coherent model rather than a collection of isolated contracts.
In depth
Decide on more than price
A sourcing decision affects continuity, agility, cyber security, innovation and executive control. Scenarios must therefore be assessed financially, operationally, legally and organisationally.
Aquizzit assesses which knowledge is strategic, where the market offers economies of scale and which governance capabilities must remain in-house. This creates a coherent model rather than a collection of separate contracts.
- Make, buy, ally and retain choices by capability

In depth
From sourcing strategy to market and contract
Aquizzit translates the chosen model into a market approach, lots, selection criteria, contract principles and a realistic transformation roadmap. For public organisations, the sourcing strategy connects directly with market consultation, the procurement procedure, evaluation and award.
Treating strategy, procurement and contracting as one process keeps the original objectives visible in the specification and final supplier agreements.
In depth
Governance, transition and exit from the outset
The quality of IT sourcing becomes clear after contracting. Governance roles, decision-making, KPIs, change control, delivery-chain collaboration and escalation are therefore designed during strategy development and market engagement.
Transition and exit should not be afterthoughts. Aquizzit establishes how knowledge, data, configurations and responsibilities remain transferable and which alternatives are available when technology, legislation or supplier performance changes.

Wanneer onafhankelijk ICT-sourcing advies waarde toevoegt
Independent advice is particularly valuable when multiple interests, suppliers and technologies converge or a decision creates long-term dependencies. Aquizzit supports retendering, cloud and workplace transitions, network and data-centre challenges, supplier consolidation and reassessment of existing sourcing models.
- A core contract is expiring or underperforming
- De organisatie overweegt in-, out-, co- of multisourcing
- Cloud, security, data en continuïteit moeten integraal worden afgewogen
- A European IT tender requires strategic and operational governance
- Vendor lock-in, cost development or exit poses a material risk

Practical detail on IT sourcing advisory and the Aquizzit approach.
When should you use independent IT sourcing advisory?+
Use independent advisory when a core contract expires, a major cloud or operating-model change is planned, performance or cost is structurally off track, or a decision creates long-term supplier dependency.
What does an IT sourcing advisory engagement deliver?+
A substantiated sourcing model, explicit design principles, comparable scenarios, an executive decision and a roadmap for market engagement, contracting, transition and governance.
How can vendor lock-in be reduced?+
By designing alternatives, data portability, open standards, knowledge transfer, exit assistance and pricing mechanisms before contracting and reviewing them periodically.
Can Aquizzit review an existing sourcing model?+
Yes. We can analyse contracts, performance, governance, dependencies and future needs and translate them into improvement options or a new sourcing route.
Hoe worden sourcingscenario’s beoordeeld?+
Per dienst worden waarde, risico, kosten, kennis, schaal, markt, security, continuïteit, exit en benodigde regiecapaciteit in samenhang beoordeeld.
How do you prevent vendor lock-in?+
Door vóór contractering alternatieven, dataportabiliteit, standaarden, kennisoverdracht, exitverplichtingen en prijsprikkels expliciet te ontwerpen en periodiek te toetsen.
When should an IT sourcing strategy be reassessed?+
When a core contract is expiring, a major cloud or organisational transition is planned, persistent performance issues or rising costs emerge, or legislation, technology or the supplier market changes materially.
Ondersteunt Aquizzit ook de aanbesteding en implementatie?+
Ja. Aquizzit kan de lijn bewaken van sourcingstrategie en marktconsultatie tot aanbesteding, onderhandeling, contractering, transitie, implementatie en leveranciersregie.
