In partner Barbara Melby and associate Chris Archer’s article for SIG’s Inside Sourcing Newsletter, they discuss obstacles in existing outsourcing agreements that could affect a customer's ability to replace incumbent vendors and identify several key issues that sourcing and legal advisers should consider when preparing and executing a customer’s resourcing strategy. The issues they identify include the need to appropriately leverage performance data, how to understand termination and exit rights, and key provisions to consider on the front-end of contract negotiations to help avoid some of resourcing’s challenges at the end of the relationship.
