Event Summary:

Managing change is the key to successfully launch and implement new ideas and technologies in global organisations. By capitalising on the promises of e-Procurement, companies are able to save costs and time in order to strengthen your competitiveness in a global business environment.

A change management programme enables your organisation to transform the supply network, inside and out. New e-tools make it possible for the purchasing specialist to standardise internal and external purchasing processes to increase your profit margins. By optimising e-catalogues on the marketplaces, both buyers and sellers are able to reach win-to-win situation. This allows the purchasing specialist to focus on long term strategic business objectives.

This international one day conference will present the best change management strategies to successfully deploy Global e-Procurement in larger corporations. Our top level of speakers will guide you through the entire process, right from the drawing board to the actual implementation, to successfully integrate your entire supply chain with B2B marketplaces.

This conference will tackle key issues such as:

  • Preparing e-readiness to roll out e-Procurement in your organisation
  • E-Sourcing as an enabler to professionalise your supply network
  • Rolling out e-Procurement in a global organisation to get control of your indirect spend
  • Optimising buying within the supply network to increase your profit margins
  • Conducting online auctions through B2B marketplaces to increase your profit margins
