Use Case

Description

Create requests

Requests serve as an input channel for the submission of outsourcing projects for documented preliminary review by the stakeholders to be involved.

Categorization of requests

The categorization of requests enables differentiation for the control of the underlying business process. The required metadata, documents and test steps can be specified according to the request category.

Obtaining comments

The required opinions of the stakeholders to be involved (legal, CISO, etc.) are obtained in the digital workflow and documented in an audit-proof manner in the request for the outsourcing project.

Adding documents to requests

Documents can be assigned to requests by uploading them using drag-and-drop, for example. Documents can also be categorized and stored in (optionally predefined) folder structures.

Create summary

Using stored templates, an executive summary is automatically generated based on the stored information, which summarizes all the key points and can be presented to decision-makers.

Create outsourcing contract

To map a seamless business process, an outsourcing contract (in draft status) can be generated directly from the request after preliminary checks have been carried out in order to subject it to the necessary review steps (due diligence, risk assessment, cost/benefit analysis, exit strategy, etc.).
