We have a detailed assessment database of providers across the globe. The Co-Evaluate methodology utilize these existing relationships to identify the right providers to match with the client needs. We are constantly adding new providers to our database to strengthen our provider network.

With our experience, we have a very good understanding of what the right costs are and what leverages you have as a client. We utilize our experience to get preferred pricing for each of our clients and the contracts that favor the clients. With our experience, you could rest assured that we will work with the providers to utilize any leverage that we might have.

Global Sourcing Implementation
Once the location, vendor and sourcing strategy is identified, we work closely in the implementation of the strategy to the point where we are able to provide indicators and metrics to support the successful implementation of the global sourcing initiative.
We partner with clients to onboard each resource. We provide recommendations on the Job descriptions, skillsets and the hiring mechanism. We work with the providers to ensure that the onboarding and transition processes are smooth and both clients and the providers have the right amount of inputs into the process.
Governance is the key to successful sourcing. Sourcing governance is not optional and is an integral part of the strategy. We work closely with our clients to identify the governance mechanism and ensure they match to the sourcing goals. We help in putting the right processes and identifying the data measurements to track compliance.
