Recovering a Failing Outsource IT Service

Join this live conversation between two senior IT staff of a fictitious company charged with the successful execution of an outsourced arrangement that has just passed its two-year anniversary. Gain insight into the difficulties they are experiencing, their search for the root causes and their development of a plan to deliver targeted improvement. The conversation includes how they hope to convince the business that they are fully committed to service its needs. How will they tackle the business perception that IT is defending poor support at high prices? How can they motivate the supplier to provide the services needed whilst making a fair return?
