Abstract:
Public administrations are under the pressure of developing digital services, while businesses need to innovate and cater for growth in rapidly changing markets. For IT, this means to be able to manage a complex mix of requirements: be flexible, saving costs, remaining in control of service quality and provide innovative solutions. Developing Sourcing capabilities can resolve this complexity and help organizations to be competitive.
Most organizations have an increasing complexity of their supplier’s landscape, while in the supplier’s marketplace new players arrive and new IT solutions are provided. CIOs need to respond to all this with an effective Sourcing Strategy, tender accordingly and develop the capacity to manage complex contracts.
The reuse of "best practices" and the available experiences is crucial to increase speed of execution.
The meeting proposed the analysis of cases of implementation and management of IT outsourcing contracts, comparing significant experiences carried out in Italian and Dutch public administrations. Emerging issues in the European Sourcing market, collected from the privileged position of Quint Wellington Redwood, recently named World's Best Outsourcing Advisors by the International Association of Outsourcing Professionals (IAOP®), were discussed.

Meeting held September 26, 2012
A meeting of the IAOP Italy Chapter was held on September 26, 2012 from 3 pm to 6 pm in the Auditorium di Santa Margherita – Ca’ Foscari in Venice.
This meeting featured discussions on Impact Sourcing, Rural Sourcing, Social Sourcing, and similar new kinds of sourcing.
In this decade the three important new sourcing categories will be: cloud sourcing, crowd sourcing and— the focus of this talk—various flavors of “Impact Sourcing.” Impact Sourcing means employing people at the base of the economic pyramid in order to create sustainable jobs. Rural Sourcing, a term popular in America, offers a workforce in small towns primarily in America ’s heartland. Clients want an alternative to expensive part-time contractors and the frustrating relationships with offshore providers. The speaker, Professor Erran Carmel has been a sourcing leader in his research and teaching. He is the author of the book “Offshoring Of Information Technology”. Carmel will introduce and survey global developments in Impact Sourcing.
