Add bookmark

Need to analyse BPO and IT Outsourcing vendors and don't know where to start? SSON Members get a FREE 3-month exclusive trial to using the new NEAT platform. Read on for more details...

If you're bogged down with strategic sourcing decisions, we recommend you try the new NelsonHall Vendor Evaluation & Assessment Tool - commonly referred to as 'NEAT,' which offers a 'pragmatic approach' of analysing current and potential vendors.

Please note that the complimentary trial is open solely to active shared services and outsourcing practitioners.

So what is NEAT?

In a nutshell, it's a new "speed-to-source" tool designed to assist Strategic Sourcing Managers in their evaluation of current and potential vendors whilst saving time and money. The tool aims to enhance the quality of sourcing decisions with its combined assessment of the vendor's ability to deliver immediate benefits and meet future requirements as well as the vendor's capability to take clients on an innovation journey over the lifetime of their next contract.

The Benefits

The programme doesn't focus on vaporware or long-term visions - instead, it evaluates, based on evidence based research, to what extent vendors can take clients on a journey of development over the life of the next contract. This pragmatic approach is reflective of the continued call for moving beyond just a transactional partnership with BPO providers and instead aligning business vision and objectives with your partner - and helps you make decisions based on what the vendor could do you for your organisation's overall business growth - rather than just what they could do for you right now. And if it does what it says on the tin, then NEAT will be a masterfully neat tool in making quality sourcing decisions efficiently. (We couldn't resist!)
