Safe Outsourcing
operates like most IT service firms in that we hold
preliminary discussions with prospective clients to
understand their needs, and then submit proposals for
specific solutions that will address them. This allows
us to tailor a specific solution for the situation at
hand. In addition to this traditional engagement model,
there are two other models that Safe Outsourcing subscribes
to.
The second model is the optional addition of an RFP
element to an engagement, where Safe Outsourcing will
solicit bids from our pre-qualified network, the market
at large, specific firms identified by the client,
or any combination thereof in order to select partners
to perform the statement of work for the project.
Although Safe Outsourcing can fully service contracts
ourselves, we understand that sometimes clients want
choices. Once a suitable partner is selected, Safe
Outsourcing manages them as we would any of our subcontracting
firms. This allows competition to be introduced, giving
rise to potential cost savings and exposure to a wide
range of potential solutions.
The third model is the ability for prospective clients
to go to pricequote.safeoutsourcing.com and create
a price quote that Safe Outsourcing will honor as
a fixed price contract for supplying the specified
resources (with no guarantee on scope of delivery).
This type of engagement has some risk because the
client is in essence assigning resources without having
any discussion with us about the scope of work, but
the ability to do price modeling independently is
valuable nonetheless because it removes some of the
opaqueness surrounding pricing.
Through our flexibility in crafting engagements,
we provide greater opportunity for our clients to
select the solution they want, rather than accepting
any proposal put in front of them.
