| Friday 16 October 2009 | Technology
Partner Governance Outsourcing of IT responsibilities is becoming an ever increasing activity and makes up a large proportion of the IT budget. Executives require more complete representations in terms of vendor performance and overall business value. These outsourced relationships can present a series of challenges and complexities if not managed and also effectively governed. This presentation tests the paradigm of utilizing traditional contract management in managing Information Technology and Telecommunications (IT&T) outsourcing and suggests an alternative approach that repositions contract management as an activity in an overall Technology Partner Governance function. This presentation also touches on how to establish a pathway toward Multi Vendor Governance or Multi Technology Partner Governance. Speaker: Myles Ward, Business Manager in the Office of the CIO at IRD |
