The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) is one of the 10 largest full-service financial institutions in North America. Its human resources department wanted to reinvent HR service delivery and increase automation and self-service operations. A number of options were being considered, including continuing with the status quo while undertaking patchwork operations, developing new HR capabilities in-house, outsourcing the development of HR capabilities, and exploring the opportunity to outsource entire functions. Each option presents benefits and challenges, and the senior lead on the project must begin to develop a business case to go forward. The supplemental case CIBC: Outsourcing the Human Resources Department (B), product 9B02C063 discusses the human resources outsourcing agreement.

The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce was the first major financial institution in Canada and among the first in North America to team up with an external supplier to manage its human resource operations and technology services. As such, the company required a carefully structured contract that included the necessary requirements and at the same time left room for flexibility and change. This is a supplement to CIBC Human Resources (A), product 9B02C062.
