Our friends over at CitrusCollab shared this really interesting case study:
Improving IT service outsourcing experience: The magic of bringing XLAs™ & SLAs together
Business Situation
A regional utility company with 10,000 employees was ending a first time, multi-year IT infrastructure outsourcing contract with a well-known, sizeable India-based outsourcer. At the termination of the contract, the client was extremely unhappy with:
- the lack of service quality,
- the lack of promised innovation and cost reductions,
- the poor employee experience with the technical services delivery quality,
- the unacceptable governance experience with the management of disputes and issues,
- the ineffectiveness of financial penalties as a lever to obtain service performance improvements.
CitrusCollab consultants assisted in the outsourcing contract rebid process. We created several
Employee Experience Level Agreements (XLA*) to augment the Service Level Agreement (SLA)
for the new IT Infrastructure outsourcing contract.
This case study describes what we did, how we did it, and the results obtained.
