Abstract
Both information systems outsourcing and knowledge management are well-established business phenomena. Regardless of organisational reasons for information systems (IS) outsourcing, knowledge remains the single most important resource for organisations to be managed. In an attempt to provide tactical mechanisms for creating and managing shared knowledge in organisations embarking on IS outsourcing arrangements, this chapter focuses on the design and application of a knowledge framework for IS outsourcing, with the purpose of guiding organisations in their knowledge exchange planning through concrete mechanisms, practical steps, and validation. Key considerations for information systems outsourcing is mapped to critical success factors, each associated with a set of knowledge requirements and knowledge flows to support the successful achievement of a specific critical success factor. An associated assessment tool was designed to identify knowledge exchange mechanisms and potential issues and gaps in current or future information systems outsource arrangements.
