ESCM-CL

The eSourcing Capability Model for Client Organizations (eSCM-CL) is a capability model intended for those organizations that procure or source IT-enabled services, with two objectives: (1) to provide guidance to client organizations to help them improve their capabilities throughout the lifecycle of the supply, and (2) to provide client organizations with objective means of assessing their sourcing capabilities, delegate one or more of their information technology intensive business activities to a service provider, or to those who wish to assess their sourcing capabilities. It enables client organizations to appraise and improve their capability in fostering the development of more effective relationships, manage these relationships better, and experience less failures in their client-service provider relationship.

Dimensions

The model is organized in three dimensions:

  1. Sourcing Life-Cycle
  2. Capability Area
  3. Capability Level

Life-cycle phases

The eSCM-CL model extends the eSCM-SP structure by adding another phase called "Analysis". So it includes ongoing practices together with practices in each of these phases of the sourcing life-cycle: Analysis, Initiation, Delivery and Completion.

Capability levels

The eSCM-CL is organized as five capability levels:

  1. Performing Sourcing
  2. Consistently Managing Sourcing
  3. Managing Organizational Sourcing Performance
  4. Proactively Enhancing Value
  5. Sustaining Excellence
