In a world of global competition, companies have grown more complex, interdependent, and technology-driven. Never before have they faced such conflicting demands and agonizing contradictions. They must grow profitably but retain their agility. They must closely collaborate but far outpace their competitors. They must invest in technology but not let technology override business objectives. Confronting tough business questions and even tougher decisions, companies must continually seek solutions that provide new and better ways of doing business – within functional areas, throughout their enterprise, and across their trading network.

But even the best solutions mean little unless they can be implemented quickly, deliver immediate benefits, and provide the flexibility to capitalize on future opportunities. Endless implementation can cause missed opportunities – opportunities the solution was originally designed to capture. Solutions that fail to integrate best-of-breed technology can produce disappointing results, slowing return on investment. And highly rigid solutions can lock in ways of doing business that soon become outmoded and expensive to reconfigure.

Whether companies are choosing point solutions or comprehensive enterprise-wide solutions, they want them delivered quickly, integrated effectively with the company’s business model, and primed to produce immediate benefits as well as flexibility for the future. In the final analysis, implementation is the solution, and smart companies know that it is as important as hardware or software. Superior implementation delivers the difference – bridging the gap between good ideas and operational reality.

Recent trends in outsourcing have shown that companies have realised that all non-core work, i.e process consulting, application consulting and mundane business processes can be outsourced.
