How we set up Multi Vendor Management in Moneta Money Bank
Situation
Moneta Money Bank requested the creation of a company-wide portal on the Liferay platform. With the participation of several different vendors, our own IT team and agile methodology (scrum of scrums).
The aim was to set up cooperation between all vendors and the contracting authority so that there was a clear division of responsibilities with no friction, which makes the whole project more expensive and jeopardizes its success. A typical example is when one of the vendors is in charge of creating a certain module and another one modifies it later.
Solutions and outputs
Lundegaard, which set up multi-vendor management, brought a solution to Moneta in the form of:
- Multi-Vendor Management – we have created a detailed documentation of the management of the entire group of vendors, which can be followed up by anyone in the future. We continuously revised this methodology and supervised its compliance (governance).
- Know-how – in the form of consultations, we passed on to Moneta Money Bank managers rich experience in managing the environment with multiple vendors. So that they can manage other projects or internal processes themselves or delegate this management to any selected vendors.
Moneta Money Bank has significantly saved costs on the project of the company-wide portal through the correct management of vendors, has a methodology at its disposal and can apply it to current or other projects.
