There's a widening gulf between where procurement organisations are today, and where they want to be.

Why change is a must

To be the strategic player that the business demands, procurement needs to build on a streamlined, efficient sourcing programme. Yet many procurement organisations still face issues on a daily basis that prevent them from focusing on corporate goals:

• Dispersed supply base
• No sustainable way to measure buyer or supplier performance or compliance
• Maverick spending with uncontracted suppliers
• Manual or time-consuming processes
• Long and therefore costly purchasing cycle times

These organisations need to find a way to optimise their supply base and transform their procurement and sourcing practices to become more effective and deliver greater value to the business.

Transforming procurement

The SRM 2007 solution, delivered by Bluefin, offers fully integrated e-procurement and e-sourcing tools that can help you introduce badly needed control and compliance, free up resources and reduce costs in:

• Procurement: taking the procurement of goods and services online for a more efficient, transparent and controllable process
• Sourcing: implementing superior control of the bidding, auctions and contract management
• Supplier enablement: building closer relationships and integration with suppliers
