The Growing Trend towards Multi-Sourcing

by Hilary Weatherstone, Director of Technology in Lloyds TSB Corporate Markets’ Corporate Asset Finance division

Categories: Corporate Finance, Strategic Treasury, Outsourcing

Outsourcing of non-core functions has become well-established in recent years, but partly because mega deals are becoming less common, the trend is now towards multi-sourcing, using multiple outsourcing partners who provide specialised services rather than larger firms acting as prime contractors. This article discusses the benefits and challenges of this situation, with particular reference to the need for ongoing investment over the life of the contract, where an external financier can often provide solutions such as structured loans or receivable based products.
