IT sourcing: More freedom for your core business.

Reduce costs & improve quality

IT sourcing consulting

with noventum consulting

IT sourcing projects, such as IT outsourcing projects, require specialist expertise that must be available at short notice. noventum provides IT sourcing advisory services for all issues and tasks throughout the entire sourcing lifecycle, relying on modern IT sourcing strategies and best practices in IT consulting.

Our IT sourcing consultants are established specialists in the field of IT sourcing/IT outsourcing and, in addition to a large number of prominent projects, have developed a wide range of activities in the scientific field of sourcing and IT service management.

Challenges and success factors

during the service handover in IT sourcing

The handover of services must run smoothly so as not to jeopardize the business at any time.

Outsourcing results in changes to the tasks performed by the IT department (e.g., managing the provider).

Conflicts of interest between providers and outsourcing companies must be resolved.

Maintaining or improving service quality must be ensured.

We are experts in all aspects of IT sourcing and support small, medium-sized, and large companies in implementing various IT topics, projects, and requirements. We demonstrate our commitment in committees of BITKOM, ITSMF, the German Institute for Standardization (DIN), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and other leading IT organizations.

Due to the fact that noventum does not offer outsourcing services itself and does not act as an IT provider, we act as an independent and objective advisor for our customers within the scope of projects, taking an analytical approach when preparing outsourcing decisions.

Our solution at a glance

For noventum, IT sourcing means more than just outsourcing services to an outsourcing partner. Our consultants view IT outsourcing consulting as a process that must be considered, planned, structured, and implemented holistically. The following sourcing process model offers you standardized methods and templates for your sourcing project and should be understood as a checklist that can be adapted as needed:

Development of the IT strategy – internal preparation of the organization – tendering for IT services – transition and transformation – provider management – evaluation of options – next generation planning at the end of the life cycle

IT sourcing strategy

We work with you to develop the right IT sourcing strategy for your company, which usually includes maturity analysis, options for action, feasibility analysis, and business case consideration (make or buy).

IT sourcing strategy

Preparation of the organization

During the subsequent tendering process for IT services or service outsourcing, we offer you consulting and implementation services in the area of preparing internal organization and processes for the outsourcing of services.

Preparation of the organization

IT tender (outsourcing)

During the tendering process (decision on the IT sourcing strategy for buy/outsourcing), we help you draw up a contract for outsourcing the services, drawing on our sample contract documents, our extensive provider database, and our expertise.

Transition & Transformation (Outsourcing)

Furthermore, we support you in the successful transition and/or transformation of IT services.

Transition & Transformation

Provider Management (Outsourcing)

In addition, in the event of outsourcing, we support you in setting up provider management for efficient collaboration with the external provider to ensure optimal IT operations.

Provider Management

Evaluation & Next Generation Planning

With our extensive expertise, we evaluate your existing contracts and advise you on contract amendments, renegotiations, extensions, or terminations.

Evaluation & Next Generation Planung

To ensure effective and successful collaboration with one or more IT providers, it is important to find suitable providers through a tender process. With our insider knowledge of IT services and IT infrastructure, providers, markets, and reference projects, we can help you find the right providers.

Dr. Matthias Olzmann

Throughout the entire process, we communicate with all parties involved on an equal footing and with human integrity and fairness. We see ourselves as an interface between the company that tenders for services and the IT providers that deliver those services.

noventum offers outsourcing consulting expertise on both sides, utilizing proven process models, templates, and experienced sourcing consultants. They provide consulting services to both the service-receiving company and IT service providers with their know-how.


Change management

Successful transformation projects require clear goals and commitment, the adequate involvement of employees and managers who are aware of their key role in the process. Change management consulting ensures that these critical aspects are given sufficient consideration in the project. One particular focus of the consulting services is to encourage all participants to recognize the opportunity for their own development in the change project.

Stakeholder management

Projects present new challenges and often bring about changes within the organization. It is important to involve the right stakeholders—i.e., the individuals, groups, or organizations that are actively involved in the project or are affected by its progress or outcome—at the right time. To do this, stakeholders must be identified, analyzed, and taken into account at the appropriate stage in the communication process.

Project management

An IT sourcing project requires effective project management in order to meet formal requirements, but also to manage risks, stakeholder interests, and coordination with dependent projects. noventum consultants are trained and certified in GPM and/or Prince2, and some are also trained and certified in SCRUM. Our clients typically use customized project management methods within their own organizations, which our consultants integrate with best practice methods to meet the compliance requirements of the respective organization. If no PM method is available, noventum will recommend a suitable process model.

Crisis management

Projects often do not proceed as planned.
We support you in getting them back on track.

noventum consultants have experience in interim management and temporary project management and hand over these activities as soon as the crises have been resolved, the project has been completed, or stable internal project management has been established.

More than technology: How companies with vision, culture and expertise achieve AI maturity

Many companies are faced with the challenge of integrating artificial intelligence into their organisation in a meaningful way - between the pressure to innovate, limited resources and cultural resistance. There is often a lack of strategic direction, targeted skills development for employees and an environment that promotes learning. Without a clear interplay between leadership, culture, governance and qualification, well-intentioned initiatives risk failing before they have a chance to take effect.
