Most procurement professionals got their start in a time when sourcing, purchasing, and supplier management were being purposefully centralized. This made it easier to establish consistency and controls and apply technology to decisions – technology that was neither intuitive nor particularly savvy.

Now, however, many source-to-pay solution suites have usability rates and interfaces that compete with the best e-commerce technology. In addition to that, the principles that procurement has been working on have become more ingrained elsewhere in the organization.

This webcast will uncover the opportunity present at the intersection of the above two tangible example of progress. Our expert speakers will guide you how you can responsibly put sourcing into the hands of distributed buyers and empowering them to select their suppliers and scale procurement’s impact.

Procurement professionals join this webinar to:

• To identify the most common fears procurement experiences in the wake of decentralized buying
• To understand the root cause of those fears so they can be overcome
• To articulate the advantages (for procurement and the enterprise) of effectively managed distributed buying
