Does your Procurement organization have effective tools and the structure in place to be able to identify, deliver and realize savings?
Without appropriate processes and systems that support the entire purchasing process from savings identification through sourcing to contract management, call-offs, invoice management and payment, procurement will never be able to live up to its full potential.
