More Work? Less People? Use Technology

A recent article on SupplyManagement.com indicates that Buyers predict more work, but no additional resources in response to a poll where 81 per cent of buyers polled expect their role to increase while few expect extra resources to meet the enlarged mandate.

After all, in addition to cost cutting, buyers can also contribute to sustainability, demand management, shared services evaluation, and opportunity definition. They can provide strategic guidance in addition to tactical execution.

Technology is one way to ease this burden. A good sourcing suite can streamline your spend analysis, RFP, bid collection, and decision analysis processes allowing you to complete more projects, in less time, at a higher rate of return.
