Outsource Systems Management – Vendor Engagement Template

Author(s): Sandi Conrad , David Drysdale

Effective communications with your vendor can make all the difference between turning your outsourcing engagement into a productive, collaborative relationship rather than an ongoing battle.

  • Ensure contact is regular and open.
  • The more critical the project, the more frequent the contact.
  • Include provisions around communications in your contract.

Treat your vendor as an extension of your IT team, not a separate organization.
