Leading global companies are re-assessing the way they source direct and indirect spend categories, driven by cost and competitive pressures, increased globalization and outsourcing, and advancements in sourcing practices and technologies.

As pressure, and even scrutiny, on the organization increases, sourcing is becoming a more strategic and critical business function. Studies show that companies with advanced sourcing operations and technology are more likely to identify and capture sustainable savings, spending 5% to 8.5% less on their materials and services as compared to competitors. For those using advanced sourcing to procure direct materials and services, the benefits are reflected in their top line. Overall, organizations using advanced sourcing are also better at reducing supply risks and more likely to have self-sufficient sourcing professionals and organizations.
