ISG SourceIT 2023 - Frankfurt | ISG (Information Services Group) | 18 June 2023 | The Westin Grand Frankfurt, Konrad Adenauer Strasse 7, 60313 Frankfurt am Main, Germany

Regardless of your situation, the foundation of your entire technology and business landscape is the set of providers that you select from the entire ecosystem of potential candidates to best fit your needs. As with most aspects of our environment, the tried-and-true approach to sourcing will not longer give your organization a competitive advantage. Traditional sourcing approaches can actually put your company at a disadvantage in the digital economy, where more integrated and dynamic approaches are now required.

Sourcing is a multi-faceted, complex endeavour critical to ensuring seamless operations, achieving cost-efficiency and enabling innovation. Managing your partner ecosystem’s performance, risk and spend requires staying ahead of the next renewal, sourcing trend and business need. But that is harder than ever as companies need to balance more providers and more contracts while experiencing increased budgetary constraints in times of uncertainty in a constantly shifting macroeconomic landscape.

Returning for its fifth year, ISG SourceIT brings together a community of ISG thought-leaders, peer enterprises and leading visionaries from start ups and academia to help you develop the strategy and partner ecosystem suitable for your unique business challenges. Join us to explore the flexible and agile approaches required to spend smarter and achieve better business outcomes from your sourcing contracts.

What You'll Discover:
Here are four themes we'll explore at SourceIT EMEA:

1. A Connected Digital Ecosystem
Intelligent products and services can only truly be effective in a connected enterprise. How do you design and source an operating model to achieve a digital thread? Are there emerging partnership models that can turn the complex into possible?
We’ll show you how to connect your enterprise while driving innovation and efficiency.

2. Next-level Resiliency
This decade has forced us to deal with more extreme and more sudden events. Resilience on the next level is in demand. Are you able to mitigate the consequences of disruption? Planned or unplanned? Are you taking a transformation-first approach? One that lets you proactively see and adapt to the changes as they unfold? We’ll show you how to evolve with confidence.

3. The Future of Security Operations
Accelerated digital transformation initiatives resulted in a significant expansion of the attack surface, creating a higher likelihood of exploitation. What operating models are you leveraging to protect your core business? Who are the key strategic partners you’ve enlisted to help? We’ll show you the best practices for sourcing cybersecurity.

4. Sustainability in the light of European Regulations
European enterprises are facing growing regulatory requirements and market pressure around ESG. Your commitment to these goals affects your relationship to your customer and ultimately your bottom line. How do you align your enterprise with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and ESG best-practices? What key actions do you need to put in place today?
We’ll show you how to develop a concerted plan across your entire organisation—one that your key stakeholders will buy into.
