Strategic Sourcing Guide to Systems Consultancy Services Procurement

Overview

A changing ecosystem within the Consultancy market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Systems Consultancy Services. There are only a handful of \"Tier 1\" vendors in the Systems Consultancy Services market and they have traditionally enjoyed a premium in their pricing. However, Tier 2 suppliers are giving them a tough competition now as they can provide similar services at a lower cost. Many tier 2 suppliers achieve this parity by finding right talent at a relatively lower cost and maintaining lean operations without any frills.

The market is rapidly showing signs of a great divide - at one extreme is a low-cost market with almost commoditized services and at the other end is the market for high cost specialized services. Systems Consultancy Services vendors are adopting starkly different business models and cost structures in an effort to address both the markets.

Traditionally, clients were charged on per diem basis for Systems Consultancy Services. However, rising pressure from clients to decrease pricing has resulted into an alternative pricing model of value-oriented billing where supplier's remuneration is linked to the performance or outcome of the project.
