Managing risk in IT outsourcing - Part V

Series Recap:

When planning to outsource all or part of an organization's IT functions, it is important to perform active risk management throughout all stages of the outsourcing lifecycle. Active risk management is a process of continually identifying and monitoring potential failure points in a plan, determining the probability of occurrence, estimating the impact of each failure, and then developing ways to lessen or avoid those risks (i.e. Mitigation). The more unknowns your outsource provider faces, the greater the risk. Risk costs money, so the more risk that can be driven out of an IT outsourcing solution, the less a vendor will charge you and the greater the chance becomes for a successful outsource.
