Identify Vendor Requirements


Identify Vendor Requirements

Having identified potentials for outsourcing, you can begin to list requirements for vendors. These should be divided into technical and political categories.

The technical vendor can tell you what is needed to achieve the desired results from a work point of view. The political vendor can act as a counterpoise to indicate how and what is possible. You want to listen to both.
