Description:

Enterprise telecom services sourcing strategies appear to be heading in opposite directions. At one end of the spectrum, a growing number of firms are bringing control over key telecom and network functions back in house and opting for greater use of multisourcing service provisioning. At the other end, some — typically the largest — organizations are choosing to outsource most or all of their telecom services requirements to a single service provider.

Agenda:

• Global and European network and telecom services procurement trends
• Multisourcing or single sourcing — which is best?
• WAN service vendor management examples
• Recommendations

Vendors mentioned: AT&T, BT Global Services, Cable & Wireless, EDS, HP, IBM, NTT Communications, Orange Business Services, Sprint, T-Systems, Vanco, and Verizon Business.
