Business Process Outsourcing
Session A
Case Studies: Using BPO to Build Efficiency-Driven Support Services Outsourcing


Kathleen A. Murray
North America Leader of Infrastructure, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

Learn:
How one of America's top shared services executives uses a competitive analysis model to map, cost, source and manage her firm's back-office operations now and earlier, at Aetna, Inc.


As a leading shared service executive at both PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and Aetna, Kathleen Murray has applied her 'life is a spectrum' philosophy to successfully organize infrastructure services along a maturity continuum. This, combined with a competitive analysis model, has helped her to consistently identify the best sourcing alternatives over time.

This session will examine:

  • The pros and cons of shared services for various services at various times
  • How these approaches have improved services and decreased costs of infrastructure in such areas as real estate, administrative services, procurement, security, travel and meeting management
  • The actual benefits achieved and problems overcome at both PwC and previously, at Aetna, Inc. The role business process outsourcing (BPO) plays as a tool to add significant business

Session B
How to Get Best Value from IT Outsourcing


Jonathan Cooper-Bagnall
Managing Consultant, PA Consulting Group

Andrew Cuomo
CEO Chief of Staff, Sabre Inc.

Learn:
Learn how Sabre Holdings Corporation, the global leader in IT for the travel and transportation industries decided to focus on core competencies of travel marketing and solutions and outsourced data center operations to achieve greater efficiencies and lower costs.


Obtaining value from an outsourcing agreement relies on more than good negotiation skills. Preparing to both measure the contract's success and review processes that must be changed is the key.

In this case-study presentation, we will discuss the steps to be taken to ensure that value does not leak from the deal once the ink is dry on the contract.

Human Resources Outsourcing
Session C
Taking HR from Cost Center to Revenue Generator at Bank of America


Kevin M. Campbell
Chief Operating Officer, Exult, Inc.

Mary Lou Cagle
SVP of Business Transformation and Benefits, Bank of America

Learn:
How to take an internal shared service, like HR, and transform it into a business that generates value for employees and shareholders.


As Rebecca Scholl, Senior Analyst with Gartner Dataquest stated, "Today, complex, global organizations are discovering that it is not enough to simply Web-enable business functions such as HR. To capture the efficiency gains promised by the latest advances in information technology, you must re-design and integrate the underlying processes, people and infrastructure as well."

The new trend in HR outsourcing - Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) -- is best represented by Exult, the company pioneering this practice of taking over many of a client's HR processes (not just the HRMS). In November, 2000 Bank of America entered into a 10 year, $1.1 billion dollar strategic relationship with Exult, Inc. This sophisticated relationship goes well beyond the traditional "vendor/buyer" arrangement. In addition to enhancing employee services through Web-enabled technology, Exult has committed to saving the bank more than 10 percent of the costs of the covered functions.

Co-presenters from Exult, Inc. and Bank of America will share their learnings on this approach to HR and will review the business case, objectives and transition milestones for a relationship of this magnitude.

Key topics they will cover are:

  • Using BPO strategically
  • Learn how BPO’s benefits extend beyond cost savings
  • Corporate drivers for Bank of America's outsourcing decision
  • The keys to success in the Exult/Bank of America relationship

Sales, Marketing & Customer Care Outsourcing
Session D
Outsourcing Dedicated Field Sales Forces – Your Secret Weapon for Market Flexibility


Alan Gonsenhauser
Vice President, Marketing and Chief Marketing Officer, Salience

Mel E. Boaz
National Resuscitation Sales Manager, Philips Medical Systems

Learn:
How professional sales outsourcing is a new strategic weapon for both revenue acceleration and cost flexibility.


Technological advancements and deregulation along with constrained capital have resulted in emerging market opportunities making speed to market and flexibility more critical than ever before. Even though outsourcing historically supported back-end functions, progressive businesses have learned to rely on sales outsourcing firms to assist with mission critical functions like sales and customer acquisition.

In today’s business environment it makes sense to consider a sales outsourcing strategy to achieve revenue acceleration and flexibility without diverting precious capital or existing sales resources. The session will examine how sales outsourcing firms can mobilize customized field sales forces in as little as 45 days without the need to build a fixed overhead infrastructure. The key areas to look for in selecting a sales outsourcing firm will be discussed, with examples of how Phillips Medical Systems established its first sales outsourcing relationship.

Key topics:

  • Strategic considerations, such as, disruption of industry landscapes, speed-to-market and speed-off-market
  • Alternative approaches to expand revenue and customer acquisition
  • Benefits of outsourcing a dedicated field sales force
  • What to look for in a sales outsourcing provider
  • Actual examples of how Phillips Medical Systems/Agilent Technologies won senior management buyoff on this new concept, set up and manages the relationship

Corporate Real Estate & Facilities Operations Outsourcing
Session E
From Contracts to Critical Facilities: Outsourcing for Real Estate Responsiveness


John Maher
Group President, Critical Facilities, Bank of America

Earl Strickland
Senior Vice President, Critical Facilities, Bank of America

Learn:
How to identify and manage business risks related to real estate through partnering for speed, flexibility, and rapid response.


This presentation examines the dynamic nature of real estate and how successful outsourcing partnerships help companies respond to change and minimize risk in a range of operational areas. The session explores how outsourcing the real estate function not only delivers predictable economic and qualitative value, but also how it provides flexibility, expertise, and access to resources to help companies cope with the unpredictable – from sudden shifts in business strategy to catastrophic events.

The focus of the session is on three key lessons learned by Trammell Crow Company and Bank of America in creating a successful outsourcing relationship designed to manage risk:

  • The role of partnership in fostering innovation, sharing of best practices, ensuring continuous improvement, and achieving results
  • How a 'playbook' approach provides a systematic framework that enables the partners to examine current practices and collaborate to refine and reengineer them to ensure they incorporate best practices and address changing requirements and goals
  • How measurement is key to outsourcing success, in particular, Key Performance Indicators that can be used to drive strategic and operational alignment

Round 2 - 4:10pm – 5:00pm

Stormy Friday
President, The Friday Group, and IFMA Fellow

Learn:
How to assess facilities management operations to determine need/benefit of outsourcing and the process for selecting and contracting with the best service provider.


Outsourcing can be a valuable tool in supporting and strengthening a company’s facilities operations that when used properly adds significant business value.

In this session, Ms. Friday explains how to:

  • Categorize the wide-range of services that comprise a facilities operation
  • Assess these services to determine if outsourcing can improve economic and operational performance
  • Present outsourcing opportunities to senior executives
  • Match the right provider to the right services

Learn:
About the countries, alternatives and issues you need to consider when outsourcing your IT and software development offshore


Recently, there has been an explosion of mainstream companies considering offshore outsourcing. IDC estimated it was a $5.9 billion dollar industry in the U.S. last year and will grow to over $15 billion by 2004. While the Indian industry has played the leading role through the 1990s, several other countries have maturing industries and are gaining client attention.

  • A case study providing real-world insights on outsourcing offshore management
  • How to identify, evaluate, and select an offshore vendor
  • The cross-cultural and communication issues, as well as working across time differences
  • A discussion of the best practices required for successful offshore outsourcing and questions from the audience
Through Mr. McCaffrey's presentation as well as audience questions, attendees will take back to their organizations practical lessons on what is required to successfully outsource offshore.

Special Topics
Session L
Outsourcing and E-Business: Foundations And New Directions


Leslie Willcocks
Andersen Professor of Information Management and E-Business, Warwick Business School

Learn:
The detailed components of effective sourcing strategies, and how to make it operational.


Global IT services market revenues will exceed $US 150 billion by 2003. From 1999 to 2001, the underlying compound annual growth rate has been 15 to 20 percent. Despite a 2001 downturn, this buoyancy is likely to be maintained by further needs in operational IT and skills and in areas such as e-commerce, applications service provision, business process outsourcing, managed network services, and supply chain management.

Based on new research in two forthcoming books: ‘NetSourcing Business and Application Services’ (Prentice Hall) and ‘The Relationship Advantage: Information Technologies, Sourcing and Management’ (Oxford University Press), this session discusses risk mitigation, the detailed components of effective sourcing strategies, and how these strategies can be operationalized. Professor Willcocks details leading, fresh research into what makes IT outsourcing relationships work and evaluates new trends and practices in the face of emerging technologies and moves to e-business. IT and e-business outsourcing is on schedule to average 35% of an organization’s IT budget. This session shows the vital skills and practices needed to make IT and e-sourcing a vital, routine part of management.

Special Topics

Globally Integrated Service Delivery Systems for BPO


Raymond E. Bayley
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brigade Corporation

Learn:
How to improve business processes at substantially lower costs by establishing, integrating, and operating a global service delivery that maximize domestic and offshore resources.


Global service delivery systems that integrate domestic resources with the best the world has to offer is the only way executives will meet the challenge of dramatically improving business processes while delivering them at substantially lower costs. Establishing and transforming domestic operations into centers of excellence, creating large-scale offshore operating engines and linking the two into a seamless global service delivery system is essential to meeting this challenge. Cross cultural integration and global continuous improvement is the key to execution.

Political, economic, social, and technical issues abound. However, the key to successfully building a global service delivery system for BPO is culturally integrating the people doing the work into a single system for the delivery of services while respecting their different cultural backgrounds.

Key Topics:

  • Establishing and transforming domestic operating portals for BPO
  • Creating offshore operating engines for BPO
  • Globally integrating domestic and offshore operations into a seamless service delivery system for BPO
  • Maximizing the quality and minimizing the costs of a global service delivery network

Information Technology Outsourcing
Session O
Gartner Reports: The Future of IT Outsourcing


Bruce Caldwell
Principal Analyst, Gartner Group

Learn:
The latest insights on information technology outsourcing.


Faster, better, cheaper no longer applies to computer hardware alone. IT services are also becoming faster, better, and cheaper because of Internet-driven changes in the procurement and delivery of IT services that have reshaped the competitive landscape for outsourcers and created new options for outsourcing customers. The resulting turmoil ushered in pain and confusion as well as new solutions and strategies.

These changes are analyzed in Gartner’s Four Worlds of IT Services scenario, the IT Services Value Chain model, the IT Utility concept, and surveys of demand and supply trends in the outsourcing market. The upshot? New infrastructures, services portfolios, tools and methodologies for outsourcing are beginning to emerge.

Special Topics
Session Q
The Outsourcing Business Plan


Jean-Francois Poisson
Director Outsourcing, Bell Canada

Learn:
How to develop, use and apply the Outsourcing Business Plan as a strategic and tactical outsourcing management tool.


The first challenge a manager will face when outsourcing is to address this new business model and deliver outsourcing promises. While, the contract document covers the legal and business aspects of the deal, it rarely addresses business planning, evolution and changing business needs.

The Outsourcing Business Plan provides a universal framework which helps the client and the provider to focus on the right business strategies, to establish and meet financial and operational targets, to assign adequate resources, and properly communicate to all stakeholders throughout the term of the business relationship.

Pioneered by Mr. Poisson at Bell Canada, the Outsourcing Business Plan is discussed in detail using his firm’s multi-year multi-million dollar administration and office support services agreement as a specific case in point which you can then apply to your own outsourcing business initiatives.

Session V
iPSL: A New Paradigm for Payments Processing


Janet Russell
iPSL Director of Operations, Unisys Global Outsourcing

Linda Walton
Director Sourced Service Delivery, Barclays Bank PLC

Learn:
About a new blueprint for the payment services market that demonstrates the possibility for financial companies -- indeed companies from any transaction heavy enterprise -- to go to market with technology partners in a new business with potential for major growth.


Check volumes in the UK are in decline, unit costs are rising and the banks are reluctant to invest in new technology to drive process and product enhancements. Barclays and Lloyds TSB, two major UK clearing banks, have, as a result, outsourced their payments processing to iPSL, a Unisys company in which they each have a 24.5% share. iPSL has 50% of the UK check market and ambitious plans for operational and IT re-engineering, and for future growth.

There are some key learning points in terms of the way the business model is constructed, the challenges of working in partnership and the practicalities of building a single iPSL identity from the three partner operations.

Key topics to be discussed include:

  • The market context in the UK
  • The iPSL business model
  • Operational capacity and business change program
  • Future growth plans
Combining the Unisys, Barclay's and Lloyds TSB check processing operations under Unisys management has delivered both significant economies of scale and market leading opportunities, with the three companies sharing technology costs along the way. The presentation describes the drivers for the partners, the business model, the experiences of the first 12 months of trading and future growth plans.

Human Resources Outsourcing
Session W
Shared Services Enters a New Commercial Era


Robert W. Gunn
President, Gunn Partners, Inc.

Learn:
Gaining the insights necessary to manage successfully in the "commercial era" of shared services


"Commercialization" is about to fundamentally and profoundly change administrative work the same way "shared services" changed Human Resource and Finance functions during the past 20 years.

For those companies intent on "doing it themselves" the implications are learning to operate to the commercial performance standard. Bob Gunn shares his perspectives about the implication for performance, process management, pricing, people, leadership, and technology investment.

For those companies looking to outsource it means working with providers as strategic suppliers. Bob will address the important factors that sustain successful partnerships and why this model is emerging now.

Sales, Marketing & Customer Care Outsourcing
Session X
From Call Center to Contact Center: New Perspectives on Customer Care Outsourcing


Roger H. Nunley
Managing Director, Customer Care Institute

Learn:
How to analyze the opportunities for Customer Care Outsourcing in an increasing Web-driven world of customer "contact."


Today, companies are having to rethink how they provide customer care. Thanks in large part to the dot-coms, customer expectations of companies have changed. Customers now expect to be able to contact a company anytime and anywhere using multiple communication channels. And they want consistent service across all channels.

With more customers going online every day, companies are being challenged to meet customer expectations or risk losing them to competitors. Once, just having a toll-free number was a competitive advantage. Companies had to learn to successfully utilize internal and outsourced call centers to better manage the rapid growth of customer telephone contacts.

Now, email, text chat, Web callback and customer self-service are helping companies distinguish themselves from competitors. However, many companies have been reluctant to invest in technology which will support the new contact channels. This may be because of the expense or because they lack the expertise and infrastructure required to support the technology. Instead, companies are outsourcing these new customer care activities to outsourcers that have invested in the new technologies and developed processes to support them.

Join us for this session and learn:

  • How customer expectations are changing
  • What are the new contact channels
  • How technology is enabling the transformation from call center into a multi-channel contact center
  • How to evaluate the role that outsourcing can play in taking advantage of these new opportunities
  • How to match the right outsourcer to the right customer care activities for your customers

Special Topics
Session Y
Presentation Title: Manufacturing Outsourcing: Making "Make or Buy" Decisions


Stephen J. Doig
Associate Principal, McKinsey & Company, Operations Strategy & Effectiveness Practice

Ronald C. Ritter
Associate Principal, McKinsey & Company, Operations Strategy & Effectiveness Practice

Learn:
Learn how to thoroughly assess make-or-buy decisions (manufacturing outsourcing) and proceed with solutions that produce maximum value from the supply chain.


Outsourcing manufacturing production is one of the most significant decisions any executive team ever makes. It involves massive changes to the delivery system of a business, is difficult to reverse, affects the livelihood of thousands of employees, and opens critical aspects of a company’s core business to the scrutiny of supply partners and other external forces and to their disruptive interventions.

Despite this, many manufacturers approach outsourcing lightly and for the wrong reasons. Manufacturers increasingly dump operational headaches and bottlenecks downstream to appeal to the asset-light interests of the markets, capture some immediate cost savings, and/or avoid labor conflicts and management deficiencies. It is critical that manufacturers approach outsourcing on the right terms, basing their decision on proof that outsourcing can accomplish operational objectives, that the relationship will actually create sustainable corporate value, and that the company can handle the implications of such dramatic change.

Key topics to be covered:

  • Keeping focused on factors for successful outsourcing
  • Reconfiguring manufacturing assets around strategic objectives
  • Identifying supply-base conditions that typically indicate outsourcing is the preferred choice
  • Understanding potential for internal operations improvements, which creates a high-mark comparison by which to accurately assess vendor capabilities
  • Leveraging outsourcing as a catalyst for broader plant network reconfigurations
  • Developing skill sets to manage manufacturing outsourcing relationships
