Sarbanes-Oxley White Papers

Managing Relationship Equilibrium in Outsourcing

Overview The intent of governance in outsourcing is to provide a mutually agreed-upon framework for the way a service provider and client will work together to conduct business (the outsourced function) and manage their relationship. Unfortunately, the relationship aspect has traditionally been overlooked, with both the service provider and the client focusing almost exclusively on contractual terms, rather than on building and nurturing a win-win business relationship. Download this white paper to learn how HP's relationship governance model differs from that of most service providers and why it allows you to forge a truly collaborative and partner-based approach to outsourcing.
