Backsourcing

What is backsourcing?
Backsourcing ist der mühsame Prozess der Beendigung oder des Auslaufens eines IT-Outsourcing-Vertrags, der den Prozess der internen Wiederherstellung des IT-Betriebs initiiert. Dieser Prozess hat direkte Kosten für Betriebsunterbrechungen und Strafgebühren in Verbindung mit indirekten Kosten für die Schädigung der Reputation einer Organisation und der Beziehungen zu Kunden, Mitarbeitern, Investoren und Unternehmenspartnern.

This term is also known or misspelled as back-sourcing or back-sourcing.

The risks associated with backsourcing have led some outsourcing organizations to induce their clients to sign pre-contracts for backsourcing in which the terms under which a contract can be terminated and control of the IT functions can be traced internally .

In order to establish an effective backsourcing process, it must be ensured that organizations continue to operate even if their outsourcing arrangements fail.
