The Definitive Indirect Procurement & Corporate Sourcing Event

Discount
The downturn has created a huge window of opportunity for you to:
  • Manage spend across more and non-traditional indirect categories
  • Capitalize synergy opportunities across the organization to drive savings
  • Institute better spend behavior among business users (& reduce maverick spend)
  • Put better spend controls in place to hold onto gains for now and in the future
  • Increase the strategic importance of the indirect procurement organization and obtain C-level support for strategic initiatives

No less than 42 Procurement Practitioner Executives (from 39 different companies) are sharing their hands-on insights on building best-in-class indirect procurement organizations with you at ProcureCon Indirect 2010.

The event delves deep into both best practices for managing non-traditional category spend as well as strategic approaches to e.g. demand management, obtaining CFO sign-off on results, innovative outsourcing opportunities and collaborating with key suppliers and business users to meet – and exceed - their sourcing requirements.

Day 1 - March 1, 2010

Driving Efficiencies In Non-Traditional Indirect Categories

Not Open to Service Providers; Practitioners Only

Some discretionary spend categories are particularly hard to gain enthusiasm from the end-user for a strategic sourcing approach. With that in mind, we created this interactive day where we ask a number of indirect procurement practitioners to demonstrate their path to success, step-by-step, so you go home with a roadmap for success as well as specific category insights.

Including case studies and discussions around marketing/print, MRO, travel, IT/telecom, HR, facilities/utilities, logistics, customer service/call centers, professional services, contract staffing spend and more. Come away with tactics you can implement immediately!
