Moving software development from external vendors to your own teams, with cost targets and milestones.

Duration: 6–18 months

## Expected outcomes

- 30–40% fewer vendor dependencies
- 50–70% lower cost than outsourcing, at the same or better quality

## Overview

We look at what you pay external vendors for software development and identify the work that is cheaper and better done in-house. Then we plan the transition, build the internal teams and set up the cost tracking that shows whether insourcing pays off.

## Scope

- Analysis of vendor costs and the development work to bring in-house
- Selection of high-cost vendor projects for the first transitions
- A transition roadmap with financial targets and milestones
- Small cross-functional development teams
- Productivity monitoring for the internal teams
- Cost tracking against previous vendor spend
- Team size and structure kept below the cost of outsourcing
- Quarterly reports on savings
- Ongoing review for further savings
