WeblogInnovatie is een aspect van outsourcing dat nog steeds een black box is voor zowel klanten als leveranciers. Erger nog, het is een black box die niet werkt. Slechts een paar mensen weten wat er in de black box zit, en nog minder weten hoe je deze voor je kunt laten werken. Innovation is an aspect of outsourcing that stubbornly remains a ‘black box’ for customers and suppliers alike. Worse, it’s a black box that doesn’t work.

A recent study from KPMG listed the threat of vendor lock-in as one of the reasons CIOs hesitate sending their companies’ data into the cloud. Walter van Holst and Mike Chung followed that report up with their in-depth look at the difficulties with which CIOs are faced by that phenomenon.

That is what can make it a challenge for Dutch companies to do business there: except for certain narrow exceptions, Dutch companies are not allowed to have their personal data processed in the US. …[Lees meer] In meerdere blogstukjes is reeds aandacht besteed aan de nieuwe ICT~Office voorwaarden. In dit stuk zal ik stilstaan bij de bruikbaarheid voor outsourcing. In het kort: in de ICT~Office voorwaarden is geen specifieke module voor outsourcing opgenomen. De bepalingen die er wél in staan zijn niet geschikt voor outsourcingstrajecten. Wie heeft ooit gezien dat de voorganger van …[Lees meer]. |
