About
Are you using the latest strategies to minimize risk in negotiating, structuring and managing successful outsourcing deals?
Outsourcing continues to be a business strategy of choice in an era of diminishing margins in the financial services industry. This year alone, outsourcing megadeals in the industry have topped $25 billion. Moreover, BPO is rapidly moving into areas that had not even been be considered by institutions just a few years ago. Chances are, if your organization is not already invested in significant outsourcing initiatives, it soon will be.
Surrendering control over important functions is not, however, without its risks. Before choosing a vendor, you need to know what questions to ask and what information you need to get to avoid making costly mistakes. With more regulatory and consumer attention on protecting privacy and information security, meeting your growing compliance responsibilities when the information is out of your control is of greater concern. Without strategies to manage an outsourcing arrangement, even well-planned deals can devolve into inefficiency and poor service. And if your current or future plans involve overseas outsourcing, foreign partnerships add a whole host of structuring, regulatory and employment-related risks.
To help you keep pace with new legal developments and to equip you with frontline
information on how to structure, monitor and audit outsourcing relationships, American
Conference Institute has developed this Third National Advanced
Legal Guide to Outsourcing in Financial Services publication. This information-packed publication has been fully updated to address the issues which are critical now. Legal and business experts from financial leaders such as Bank
One, Countrywide Home Loans, GMAC Mortgage, Household International,
New Century Financial, Providian Financial Corporation and Reserve
Management Corporation,
as well as top service providers Fiserve, Inovant
LLC and Total Systems Services provided their information
on how to turn complex transactions into winning relationships. The expert faculty covered:
- Key due diligence strategies when choosing a vendor
- Negotiating strategies for essential contractual provisions
- How to protect customer privacy and information security in outsourced processes
- Minimizing compliance and performance risks in offshore outsourcing
- How to manage and evaluate your ongoing outsourcing relationship to guarantee maximum efficiency
