In the rush to outsource application development and maintenance, many companies contracted multiple suppliers, an approach that has considerable advantages but that also poses considerable challenges. Reducing the number of suppliers can have substantial financial benefits, with one-time costs reduced by 35 to 40 percent and operational costs by 20 to 25 percent.
