Direct comparisons between technology sourcing models. Each page answers the question in its opening paragraph and sets out the trade-offs in a single table.
The comparisons
- Procurement as a service vs staff augmentation. Who carries the outcome, and where the cost actually lands.
- Vendor-neutral advisor vs reseller. How each one is paid, and what that does to the shortlist you are shown.
- In-house vs outsourced procurement. When a permanent team pays for itself, and when it does not.
How to use these pages
Each comparison is written for a decision already on the table, not as an introduction to the category. If you are earlier than that, start with what procurement as a service covers or the Discover, Evaluate, Engage, Assure method. For the market numbers behind these choices, see the Australian cyber and technology procurement statistics.
