Strategies for Sustainable and Cost-Effective Contracting


This PPT slide, part of the 33-slide Cost Reduction Methodologies PowerPoint presentation, outlines key strategies for providers to enhance their contracting processes, focusing on sustainability, adaptability, and cost-effectiveness. It is structured into four main categories: Dramatic Cost Reduction, Business Flexibility, Managed Risk Exposure, and Optimization. Each category highlights specific actions that can be taken to achieve these goals.

Under Dramatic Cost Reduction, the emphasis is on deploying technology enablers such as work management and scanning. Standardization and offshore or distributed delivery methods are also recommended, alongside the implementation of best practice process methodologies. This suggests a strong focus on leveraging technology and standardized processes to drive down costs.

Business Flexibility is about the ability to scale operations quickly, whether up or down. It mentions the importance of a mature change management process and access to a global network of business process outsourcing (BPO) service delivery centers. The mention of multi-platform and multi-client capabilities indicates a need for adaptability in service offerings to meet diverse client needs.

Managed Risk Exposure focuses on compliance and performance metrics. Achieving SAS70 controls and providing Sarbanes-Oxley compliance support are critical for managing risks associated with outsourcing. Implementing key performance metrics and utilizing multiple BPO centers across different regions further enhances risk management.

Finally, Optimization reiterates the need for best practice methodologies and technological enhancements. The overall message is clear: by integrating these strategies, providers can achieve greater business optimization and flexibility, ensuring that activities are more cohesively linked than before.
