Optionality™
™
Agilità defines Optionality™ as a strategy
of smart-sourcing distinct packages of work for a limited
duration to suppliers anywhere in the world based on a
cost, quality and risk profile. Agilità with
core competence in sourcing strategies and presence
in the leading emerging markets in India, China and
The Philippines understands the challenges and the opportunities.
Our professionals have pioneered the concept of transformational
outsourcing and Optionality™.
Because this market is so dynamic, we have strong partnerships
with others who monitor, intermediate and deliver Optionality™.
Accumulated depth and breadth that is difficult for
any organization to build or replicate.
The world is a global village – so what’s
new? What’s new is that your organization and
your business are requiring dynamic smart sourcing strategies
that can turn on a coin.
Ten years ago it was about big outsourcing deals to
tier One outsourcing providers, five years ago it was
about India, three years ago it was about China and
now every emerging economy with a good base of talent
and affinity with your language is knocking on your
door to provide service. How do you choose, manage,
structure, and turn on a dime. Do you outsource, co-source,
or pursue a captive offshore? Who is objective and who
knows? Agilità!

Virtualization
Virtualization means freeing up resources from constraints
dictated by their implementation, geographic location,
or physical packaging. In other words, it provides a logical
rather than physical view of IT resources. These resources
can be data, computing power, storage, and other resources.
Creating a virtualized environment can be challenging.
Agilità has the technical expertise to design and implement
virtual environments as part of an Optionality™
strategy.

Adaptive
Management
Core to HP’s strategy for the adaptive enterprise
is an architecture that promotes dynamic management of the
IT resources. It is a system that matches Business requirements
to virtual system resources that process workload as it
is generated by the business. Agilità knows how to
design, implement and manage and adaptive management environment.
We understand the risks and opportunities of tying to a
supplier as opposed to becoming overly dependent on them.

On-Demand
Core to IBM’s strategy is providing one-stop full-serviced
IT resources to enable business capability. While IBM
is uniquely positioned to achieve this; IBM tends to over-indulge
in it’s own liquor and work almost entirely within
its own eco-system (Tivoli, Lotus etc) This may not always
provide the best solution for a customer. After all IBM
is not always the thought leader or the quality leader
in some segments. Patching together on-demand requires
insight and expertise beyond any single eco-system no
matter how strong that system might be. That is where
Agilità can help. Choose hope over hype and light
over heat.

Smart
Sourcing
After a long period of the outsourcing mega-deals, companies
are becoming increasingly skeptical that one-shop i.e. one
supplier can provide both the enabling infrastructure as
well as the dynamic niche skills that an organization needs.
An alternative is smart-sourcing entails the packaging of
work and then sourcing the ability to execute that work
to wherever and whoever can perform the work best within
parameters of cost, quality and risk.

Transformation
Outsourcing
Traditional outsourcing has focused on delivering immediate
returns to customers, sometimes at the expense of longer
term innovation and even cost. It is about the outsourcer
managing existing platforms more efficiently today and then
up-selling new ‘out of scope’ capabilities at
a later date.
Transformational outsourcing is about leveraging a more
intimate relationship with a technology supplier to create
a new technological platform that will be enable the business
to be more successful often times it will also be more effective
and efficient than the older platforms it replaces.
Agilità’s consultants have been at the fore-front
of transformational outsourcing for many years. Transformational
outsourcing requires a very different governance style,
from the design of service levels, and the technical infrastructure
to managing the contracts. Agilità has designed a
tri-lateral governance model that supports transformational
outsourcing and helps ensure greater alignment between the
business and the IT service provider. |
