17、ization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been establish
18、ed has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

ISO 2014 All rights reserved vBS ISO 37500:2014ISO 37500:2014(E)IntroductionAround the globe, outsourcing is increasingly an opportunity to add value, tap into a resource base and/or mitigate risk. This International Standard aims to provide gen
24、eral guidance for outsourcing for any organization in any sector. It provides a vocabulary for outsourcing practitioners across all industry sectors. It includes typical outsourcing concepts to improve the understanding of all stakeholders, by providing a set of practices that can be used to manage
25、the outsourcing life cycle.Outsourcing is a business model for the delivery of a product or service to a client by a provider, as an alternative to the provision of those products or services within the client organization, where: the outsourcing process is based on a sourcing decision (make or buy)
26、; resources can be transferred to the provider; the provider is responsible for delivering outsourced services for an agreed period of time; the services can be transferred from an existing provider to another; the client is accountable for the outsourced services and the provider is responsible for
27、 performing them.This International Standard starts with the precondition that an organization has already established a sourcing strategy and concluded that outsourcing might be a beneficial approach.Continuation or termination of an outsourcing arrangement forms an integral part of the outsourcing
28、 life cycle. Continuation commences as long as the outsourcing business case is valid and the outsourcing option is feasible within the sourcing portfolio. The decision to continue or terminate outsourcing as a sourcing strategy option is an outcome from the sourcing process of the client and is out
29、side the scope of this International Standard.This International Standard:a) covers the entire outsourcing life cycle in four phases, as depicted in Figure 2, and provides definitions for the terms, concepts, and processes that are considered good practice;b) provides detailed guidance on the outsou
30、rcing life cycle, processes and their outputs;c) provides a generic and industry independent foundation, which can be supplemented and tailored to suit industry-specific requirements;d) can be used before, during and after the decision is made to outsource;e) aims to enable mutually beneficial colla
31、borative relationships.The description of each outsourcing phase provides information for the client side as well as the provider side.vi ISO 2014 All rights reservedBS ISO 37500:2014Guidance on outsourcing1 ScopeThis International Standard covers the main phases, processes and governance aspects of
32、 outsourcing, independent of size and sectors of industry and commerce. It is intended to provide a good foundation to enable organizations to enter into, and continue to sustain, successful outsourcing arrangements throughout the contractual period.This International Standard gives guidance on: goo
33、d outsourcing governance for the mutual benefit of client and provider; flexibility of outsourcing arrangements, accommodating changing business requirements; identifying risks involved with outsourcing; enabling mutually beneficial collaborative relationships.This International Standard can be tail
34、ored and extended to industry-specific needs to accommodate international, national and local laws and regulations (including those related to the environment, labour, health and safety), the size of the outsourcing arrangement and the type of industry sector.This International Standard recognizes t
35、hat the various stakeholders act separately in some phases of the outsourcing life cycle and together in others. It is not possible to exclusively allocate processes within the outsourcing life cycle to either client or provider. For each outsourcing arrangement, process responsibility is intended t
36、o be interpreted accordingly and tailored by the user.This International Standard is intended to relate to any outsourcing relationship, whether outsourcing for the first time or not, using a single-provider or multi-provider model, or draft agreements based on services or outcomes. Processes mentio
37、ned in this International Standard are intended to be tailored to fit the outsourcing strategy and maturity of the client and provider organizations.This International Standard is intended to be used by outsourcing clients, providers and practitioners, such as: decision makers and their empowered re
38、presentatives; all stakeholders engaged in facilitating the creation and/or management of outsourcing arrangements; staff at all levels of experience in outsourcing.2 Normative referencesThere are no normative references.3 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this document, the following terms a

40、2business casestructured proposal for business improvement that functions as a decision package for decision-makersNote 1 to entry: The business case should explain why outsourcing is required for the business and what the product or service is going to be. It should include an outline of the return
41、 on investment (ROI), or a cost/benefit analysis, the performance characteristics, major project risks and the opportunities. The business case addresses, at a high level, the business needs that the outsourcing project seeks to meet. It includes the reasons for outsourcing, the expected business be
42、nefits, the options considered with reasons for rejecting or carrying forward each option, the expected costs of the outsourcing project, a gap analysis and the expected risks.SOURCE: ISO/TR 25104:2008, 3.3, modified3.3clientindividual or group of organizations entering into an agreement with a prov
