ITSqc develops capability models to improve the relationship between service providers and their clients. The eSourcing Capability Model for Service Providers (eSCM-SP) v2 was released in April 2004. The eSourcing Capability Model for Client Organizations (eSCM-CL) was released in September 2006. The need for an additional capability model concerned with eSecurity is now under investigation.

Organizations are increasingly delegating IT-intensive business activities to external service providers to take advantage of new growth in the global telecommunications infrastructure. The business processes being outsourced range from routine and non-critical tasks, to strategic processes that directly impact revenues. Managing and meeting client expectations is a major challenge in these business relationships, and examples of failure abound.
