Taking Action and Outsourcing
ING CTO Neil Buckley says one reason to outsource is because outside specialists can do it faster and cheaper. The bank outsourced its Benelux desktops to a consortium including Accenture, Atos Origin and Getronics in a billion dollar deal. He estimated savings will be 25-30 percent.
“We did a complete refresh of the sktop two years ago and it cost us a fortune. Now it becomes part of lifecycle management.” What takes the bank four weeks might take an outside firm only four days.
