ISG delivers strong transition service agreement (TSA) management through a proactive and transparent approach, creating a positive experience for employees, minimizing dis-synergies and providing clear views into progress and mitigating risk throughout.
Opportunity
This major North American Utility decided to split its organization into two separate public companies, one focusing on transmission & distribution, the other focusing on power generation.
As with every divestiture, there were many moving parts with the TSA guiding the separation process. Three different well known strategic advisors were involved in early strategy setting, however when it came to managing the TSA, the strategic advisors began to faulter when attention shifted to execution. Assigned resources were inexperienced and methodologies for completing the wide array of activities were immature.
As a result, ISG was engaged to manage the TSA program providing oversite on the TSA service delivery, service exit planning and execution.
Imagining IT Differently
In support of TSA governance, ISG provided oversight for:
- Contract management and governance
- Invoice and service-level agreement (SLA) validation
- Service ID management
- Integrated transition plan and TSA exit events
- Contract bifurcation outcomes
- Transition plan management
- Quality gates and interim milestones
- Accountability and alignment of tasks
- TSA invoice burndown
Future Made Possible
ISG’s approach included activities within each service to assure uninterrupted IT service delivery tied to a defined and transparent understanding of progress toward exit:
- Over $1B of total contract value (TCV) spanning more than 500 contracts bifurcated, leveraging our contract governance processes.
- 90 unique TSA services exited with no drop in service quality by integrating service ID TSA exit dependencies into the ISG-developed Integrated Master Plan, providing clear dependency mapping and what if analysis.
- Ensured cost-to-achieve budget was effectively managed, minimizing dis-synergies / stranded costs throughout the TSA.
- Managed the disposition and migration of ~1,800 business and shared systems applications and data, supporting over 55,000 users.
