At Avasant, we believe it is essential to fully identify your baseline requirements upfront in order to establish an accurate and comprehensive of your service environment. Through early planning discussions regarding your sourcing strategy and working sessions to review your service scope and performance requirements, we work with you and your team to understand your requirements and how they relate to your strategic sourcing objectives. That is important because all downstream activities will be geared to achieve those strategic objectives throughout the execution of the transaction.
Another necessary key to transaction execution success is to provide the service provider candidates with comprehensive and detailed descriptions of your environment, the services you expect them to provide and the service levels to which you require them to perform. This entails the collection and organization of data, such as inventories, locations, service user counts, etc. Some may be readily available, while other data may need to be collected. This is often the most time-consuming activity, affecting the critical path toward RFP completion. Avasant consultants help jump-start the process by helping you focus on what data is most relevant and then providing you with proven data collection forms.
