The risks involved in outsourcing or offshoring applications and product development work can potentially delay expected benefits and undermine the success of such initiatives. To minimize the risks and maximize the gains, one must deploy best practices and solutions that will help to manage and execute globally-sourced projects more efficiently and effectively. Teksels Tool for Outsourcing Management (TOM), which is derived from TOPQMM, help leading companies achieve their outsourcing objectives.

TOM helps ensure project success by giving client managers real-time visibility and control of projects including automated escalation and notification features to give them the earliest possible warning of potential issues. It makes it easier to spot and manage issues before they become problems, allowing client managers to become more proactive rather than reactive. TOM significantly decreases the chances of project failure.

TOM operates on a secure, web-based media. It's a common workspace for clients and suppliers alike, improving management visibility and control as well as distributed team productivity. It helps keep projects on track and on budget with real-time dashboards. TOM, when used with globally distributed teams, improves operational efficiency and reduces communication & coordination overheads.

TOM provides the moving status of outsourced initiatives as opposed to milestone based status, and does not allow off-track trends to age. It can be extremely effective in places where geographically wide spread multiple vendors are collaborating alongside client internal groups. For, using TOM, you will be "seeing what is happening" as if it's next door.
