We believe an effective IT Procurement process is all
about managing IT spending and expenditures. Today, we see many procurement
teams given competing objectives to decentralize procurement processes while
trying to centralize and aggregate enterprise-wide demand in order to drive
lower prices through bids and contracts. In addition, the purchasing department
is asked to ensure enterprise-wide buying compliance by preventing off-contract
purchasing..
While many ERP applications provide different levels of Strategic Sourcing
functionality, they fall short of meeting the specific IT requirements of each
department leading to rebellion and rogue spending that sends IT budgets out of
control. Effective IT Strategic Sourcing management is more process than it is
application. We can help simplify and automate your entire IT procurement
process, allowing you to reduce the overall cost of acquiring products and
services. Our Strategic Sourcing Portal lets you access the your catalogs with
thousands of products from dozens of top manufacturers. You'll quickly be able
to find what you need and make informed purchasing decisions based on real-time
pricing and availability, maximize negotiated contracts, and decrease
unauthorized spending. Our customers already source their IT needs from our Strategic Sourcing
Catalog of more than 400,000 products. Now our application enables our clients
to apply the same level of spend controls for any other supplier they buy
from-across multiple IT suppliers, distributors, and manufacturers. Better yet,
it's all accomplished from a single point of access, avoiding logons to multiple
sites. You have a single view of the entire IT purchasing lifecycle,
consolidated requisitions and approvals, complete spend visibility, and common
order tracking.

Business Objectives of IT Strategic Sourcing
Maintain the unique sets of rules and demands for each spend area, which
would require a flexible infrastructure that can respond to changes in
real-time, not a hard-coded system that requires an IT project for any
updates
Reduce process costs: with > 90% of procurement costs being related to
the process, not the cost of pens and paper
Eliminate "Rogue spending" that can account for as much as 1/3 of all
corporate spending
Benefits of IT Strategic Sourcing
Improve Transparency: Benefit from pre-negotiated pricing, the ability
to create preferred vendor lists and catalogs, and an online approval
process that is fast and easy to use
Enforce Standards: Business rules-driven processes allow users to submit
requests though a single portal, eliminating any need to circumvent the
solution and for maverick spending
Process visibility means an auditable, enforceable solution: IT
Strategic Sourcing is significantly more dependent on processes than on an
application. Visibility into key IT procurement processes provides keen
insight into the solution's effectiveness
