While there are many important aspects of IT outsourcing, performance is the supreme. It is a simple measure of actual versus desired results

IT outsourcing performance is a combination of qualitative impressions. It is the intangible essence of the outsourcing deal and really drives client perceptions of whether the deal is successful or not. Performance is equally important for the supplier. If the deal does not work for the supplier, they will ultimately walk away.

So users, how performance can be measured in Outsourcing deals?

Define your performance requirements

idea posted by sumitra dutta Consultant, XYZ

If you have clearly defined your needs as a client, you'll get what you want and articulated these in the selection and contract process with your supplier. That would explicitly link to the business outcomes you wish to achieve the financial profits.

Performance measurement must follow the usual cycle of validating against the stated objectives and KPI whether it is outsourced or executed through internal resources. Rather than measuring, managing outsourced activities so that they meet stated objectives is a little different and that should be emphasized.

Customer Satisfaction

idea posted by Kumara Swamy Project Associate, IIIT-H

As far as I understood, either may be outsourcing or something else, the final measurement is customer satisfaction. I hope the customer satisfaction is only the measure of the performance. As long as the customer is happy, the performance of the people involved are performing well.

Customer satisfaction is a very broad statement. I should say succdessful stakjeholder management. This will include customner and people internal to both organizations as well. 

An outsource deal is something that brings together two organizations and involves the business model and plans for both. Timely delivery, meeting requirements, customer and stakeholder relationship management and quality control to meet international and previously agreed standards are just a few of the things involved here.

Add your argument:

In terms of QCD - Quality, Cost, Delivery Schedule

idea posted by Thomas MG CEO/MD/Director, iBTS Consulting

For projects, the basic measures are Quality, Cost and Delivery Schedule; this can be extended to the outsourcing deals. For example, Quality - # of defects in the delivered product/service, overall customer satisfaction, etc; Cost - in terms of budget overrun; D - # of deliverables given within the committed schedule. Another parameter could be I - Innovation - Value created over and above the contract terms.

Yes! I agree with what Thomas has indicated in terms of keeping an yard stick. In addition to this I also agree with the KPIs as indicated by Krishna

Add your argument:

Customers confidence

idea posted by Robert Sanjay Corporate Trainer, Confidential

yes definitely quality basically is not determined by the outsourcing companies.

The outsourcing companies must keep in mind that the customers opinions and

views  has to given much priority.

the quality does not ensures only the companies policy and measurements.

Sanjay
