Alsbridge created, FastModel™, a proprietary future state financial model, to develop costs that answer the typical board question, “What if we did it ourselves?” By the end of Phase 1 of FastSource™, Alsbridge will have produced a comprehensive financial business case supporting the decision to move forward with the outsourcing/shared services endeavor (or not).

This sophisticated model enables us to compare the current base case costs with a variety of future states while accounting for external variables (e.g., the devaluation of the dollar, increases in offshore wage rates, unexpectedly high turnover, etc.). The business case generated will be expressed in the form of net cash required, NPV, IRR and months to net zero on cash.

Based on this information and consideration of the strategic sourcing options available, Alsbridge will assess the impact of outsourcing and/or shared services on the client's operations and provide a final recommended strategy for the sourcing solution, including the scope, timing, and sequence of subsequent sourcing events.
