Agendas • Incremental Outsourcing • A Managing IT Project Delivery • Strategic Outsourcing at Bharti Airtel Limited
New Service Model – Incremental Outsourcing Benefits of incremental Outsourcing • Managing the shortage of specialized IT workers • Reduced time to market • The shift to 24x7 operations • Favorable cash flow profiles • Cost reduction in IT service chains • Making applications globally accessible
A Portfolio Approach to Managing IT Projects • Three IT Deficiencies • Failure to assess the implementation risk of a project at the time it is funded • Failure to consider the aggregate implementation risk of a portfolio of projects • Failure to recognize that different projects require different managerial approaches
Projects Typically Fail • Over budget • Average cost overrun: 189% • Delivered late • Average schedule overrun: 222% • Failed to meet expectations • Average coverage: 61% • Larger companies are even worse [Standish Group, 2004]
Source of Implementation Risk • Project size • Experience with the technology • Requirements volatility
Risk and Return Matrix Exercise • Information Systems Implementation at Texas Tech • System #1: Updating MS Office Suite • System #2: Student Relationship Management (SRM) software in Banner. • System #3: RFID system for TTU procurement replacing bar code system.
Criteria for Selecting the Appropriate Methodology • Clear user requirements • Familiarity with technology • Complexity of system • Reliability of system • Time schedule • Schedule visibility
IT Portfolio Approach • Highlights total implementation risk • Enables rebalancing of portfolio to key priorities • Ensure limited resources are linked to critical company needs • 20 individual unites priorities may not be a good portfolio • Existing methods hide commutability (efficiency)
IT Portfolio Approach – Barriers • Cut cross management control systems and reallocate scarce resources differently • Changing rules win-loose to much pain • Can force drastic shift resource allocation inside/out • Not seen as providing enough value – we are OK • Cost too much – Don’t understand it • We choose not to look at IT in aggregate
Project Phases • Planning (Why build the system? How should the team go about building it?) • Analysis (Who uses system, what will it do, where and when will the system be used?) • Design (How will the system work?) • Implementation (System delivery)
