Alsbridge research shows over 77% of current outsourcing contracts are set to expire in the next 30 months. “With so many buyer companies entering their second or third outsourcing deals, ‘Outsourcing 2.0’ is becoming more commonplace,” says Randy Vetter. “However, the approach to outsourcing is vastly different the second or third time around as many aspects of the outsourcing arrangements have changed over time.”

• How to prepare internally for the pending contract termination?
• What steps need to be taken with the provider?
