eWorld Day 2 - London Sourcing

February 22nd, 2007 at 01:37am Sean Delaney - Iasta UK

Another great day at eWorld. The event seems to go from strength to strength. A significant change from September was the quality of the seminars. The feedback from delegates was that the all seminars were thought provoking and kept away from the temptation of being thinly veiled sales pitches.

One observation over the past 2 days was the almost blaise attitude to reverse auctions but today I was reminded in 2 separate conversations at how significant they still really are.

2 SmartSource clients executing more advanced strategies delivered significant benefits for 2 different reasons. Firstly one demonstrated in a restricted supply market savings can still be achieved and secondly the other auction delivered savings in a category otherwise deemed untouchable.

So I have learnt a valuable lesson that (yet again) eSourcing has yet to reach its full potential and that is why eWorld should remain a key event in the procurement calendar.
