In This Podcast, Peter Connelly Discusses Industry Evolution, Future of Procurement & Disaster in Joplin as he Readies to Retire
Peter Connelly has been in the procurement business since before he knew there was one - since before most of us knew there was one. He is retiring from Leggett & Platt, one of America's oldest, most respected manufacturers, and leaves behind an industry that is much different than when he started, but still rests on the same important values. Here, he talks to Kelly Hushin, Online Content Manager, WBR, producers of the ProcureCon conference, to which Peter has been a trusted advisor for many years. With a recent disaster in Leggett's hometown headquarters of Joplin, Missouri, Peter has more than ever had to look to the roots of good procurement both as a profession and as a philosophy.

CombineNet White Paper
Stuck in the Suite Spot – The Prevalence of Excel Use Alongside eSourcing and Procurement SuitesFor those in sourcing and procurement roles, it likely comes as no surprise that some amount of RFIs and RFPs are still handled with Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheets. Over the years, organizations have increasingly invested in eSourcing or Procurement Suites (either as part of a larger ERP application or as stand-alone suites) to provide a better enterprise solution to improve the productivity, efficiency, visibility and results of supplier sourcing. Despite those investments, the extent of Excel use for RFI/RFP creation, bid collection, and analysis remains stunning – creating what we call “The Suite Spot” where spreadsheets are turned to instead of the available suite solutions. This paper reveals market research findings in this area, identifies root causes, and highlights how a best-in-class eSourcing tool like CombineNet can augment suite solutions to reduce spreadsheet reliance and improve eSourcing adoption and results.
