Dallas, TX (12thFebruary 2008): Alsbridge, released an article
today citing the importance of the CFO as an executive sponsor for your sourcing
initiative for Information Technology.
“CFO’s look at the world
through a different set of lenses”, said Vice President, Randy Vetter.“They are like economists, in that they view
people as corporate assets and resources that consume (especially in IT and back
office functions), rather than add to corporate
revenue”.
Why is the CFO’s view so
important?Alsbridge says, before you
answer that question you have to put this into context around three typical
sourcing alternatives:Outsource – Third
Party Service Provider, Shared Services – Captive…your company does it all, and
Shared Services – Build, Operate & Transfer (BOT).
