Update: eSourcingWiki

April 2nd, 2007 at 05:04am David Bush - Iasta

Since the launch of eSourcingWiki, on March 14th, I have been happy with the attention that the site has generated. The blogs (naturally) jumped on the idea with numerous columns on the idea:

• Spend Matters
• Sourcing Innovation
• Procurement Central
• Manoj’s EIPP Blog

A quick search of Google on the term eSourcingWiki brought in 924 returned results - not bad for it being before spiders or bots crawl through the dense content yet and up 23% from 7 days ago. Also on Supply Excellence, Tim had very nice and detailed comments in one of his posts:

“You can really get lost in the pages. There’s enough (and more insightful) info on supply management than most books I’ve read on the subject. I have bookmarked a bunch of stuff to go back and read. And like Wikipedia, you can even add a contribution to help define key supply terms.”

We have seen a really nice distribution of audience and even had a small and growing group register on the site, one from as far away as Prague. I think there may even be an article coming from Supply & Demand Chain Executive, as I did an interview on the topic with Andy Reese recently.

As for new material, Dave Stephens registered and created some content under his Procurement Central placeholder and I had suggestions to wiki a blog from last week by Mark Usher which was done as a supplement. We also have now released another wiki series for Cost Reduction and Avoidance, which is ready for prime-time.

I think this has been successful to date, no question. The project is still in its infancy but seems to be getting traction in a viral way. I hope to some day see community participation become an important component but will not measure success solely on that factor.
