Procurement Relevance

Do you know your total cost of ownership?

The ultimate goal is to have procurement professionals lead negotiation teams early in the sourcing process. Savings are maximized when procurement is involved.

The crux of the problem comes from our traditional way procurement leverages policy, procedures, and technology. A world-class team will place rigor in every step of the source-to-settle process. However, due to the sheer volume of work, sourcing will take a back seat to the effort placed on simple tasks and transactional elements. Organization stakeholders have lost faith in procurement departments and simply consider procurement as overhead or as an extension of accounting or legal functions.

Our team has experience in breaking through the malaise by placing procurement front and center as a relevant core function in the organization. Our capabilities include:

• Planning and Strategy - From category playbook, spend analysis or event support
• eSourcing - Software technology selection, training, templates, and adoption
• Transformation - Integrate technology with policy and procedures to drive sourcing throughput and maximize savings
