IT sourcing with control over value and dependency

IT sourcing determines which digital services you retain, develop with partners or entrust to the market. Aquizzit makes these choices explicit and connects them to architecture, security, cost, contracts and governance.

Sourcing model

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

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.

Make, buy, ally and retain choices by capability
Single, multi and co-sourcing models
Cloud, SaaS and managed-service dependencies
Transition sequencing and knowledge retention
Exit alternatives for supplier failure

Practical detail on IT sourcing and the Aquizzit approach.

What does IT sourcing cover?

IT sourcing covers decisions to retain, share or outsource digital services, including supplier model, contracting, governance, transition and exit.

Is IT sourcing the same as outsourcing?

No. Outsourcing is one possible outcome. IT sourcing can also lead to insourcing, co-sourcing, multisourcing, SaaS, cloud or a hybrid model.

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.
