Strategic Procurement and eProcurement Master Class

July 28, 2011 | 8:30 AM - 5:30 PM | TBA- Subic

According to an Aberdeen Group Study, companies with eProcurement
systems reap these benefits:

• Reduced off contract spend by 64%.
• Reduced prices by 7.3% for spend brought back onto contract.
• Reduced requisition-to-order cycles by 66%.
• Reduced requisition-to-order costs by 58%.

The changing role of procurement is evident in today’s expanding global marketplace.
With cross-cultural negotiations becoming commonplace,  procurement is expected to do
more with less – deliver goods and services at the right time, without disruption by
geographical tensions or calamities that may affect the procurement process, under cost
effective financial terms.  The pressure to keep costs down and generate savings leads to
demand for compliance and transparency.  For this end, companies should adopt a
strategic, rather than a tactical, approach.  The key is strategic procurement, an end-to-end
activity where any acquisition of goods or services is planned and implemented from the
time a “buy” decision is contemplated right up to delivery stage. Electronic procurement is
part of this strategy.  eProcurement is especially useful in public procurement as it
increases procurement productivity 5-fold, eliminates corruption, and reduces face-to-face
contact and the use of “middle-men.”  Businesses are competing more on compliance,
hence it is imperative to learn new technologies for purchasing to promote transparency
and integrity in the organization.

Learn about these from the experts! Attend PASIA’s Strategic Procurement and
