Collaborative InSourcing
At SES we believe the only way to truly judge quality… is in the eyes of our clients.  So we asked our clients what they expected from a vendor when partnering with them on mission critical IT projects.  They said they wanted a partner who wasn’t a threat, a client friendly approach, reasonable rates, solid knowledge transfer plans, and a self-sufficient IT organization at project completion.  Collaborative InSourcing, the SES approach to project business, delivers all this and much more.

This approach has been developed, tested and fine tuned in conjunction with a select group of SES clients over the past decade.  Collaborative InSourcing systematically blends SES Managers and Systems Engineers with the strategic Management and staff of our clients, to form a collaborative team, driven to the creation of higher quality solutions.  The underlying principle is, together as a team, we are capable of much greater results than we could ever accomplish alone.  Unlike traditional outsourcing strategies of the past, projects are "InSourced" rather than outsourced…thus, the name Collaborative InSourcing.  And since the teams are blended together, things like knowledge transfer, open communications and self-sufficiency occur automatically.  Working together, this collaborative team:

Co-Understands the Challenge

Co-Designs a Solution

Co-Staffs the Team

Co-Delivers the Results

Collaborative InSourcing breaks down the barriers of politics, hidden agendas, and distrust created by traditional outsourcing strategies; and replaces it with a partnership based on open, honest, and candid communication.  It’s a collaborative effort toward a common objective, by a blended team who share their resources and knowledge, while complementing each other’s strengths. Collaborative InSourcing combines the right people with the right approach to meet your most complex challenges!
