A few leading companies have embraced new approaches to managing their technology vendor portfolios, which Forrester calls a future fit sourcing strategy. This builds on strong strategic partnerships as the foundation, with a focus on business capabilities and outcomes replacing traditional cost-focused category strategies. It also includes multisourcing from small and midsize vendors to add extra creativity and innovation to complement the partnership core and to balance business stakeholders’ need for autonomy with the central tech leader’s desire for simplification and economies of scale.
