Enabling Supplier-Hosted Content is key to e-Procurement Return on Investment (ROI)

In todays tough economic climate, more senior executives are asking their procurement organizations to deliver substantial cost savings, but they dont necessarily want to make big new investments. This special executive Webinar will look at how some companies are dramatically improving their returns on existing e-procurement investments by,

Employing state-of-the-art practices and solutions for e-catalog content and supplier enablement,
Enabling suppliers to leverage existing e-commerce investments,
Offloading catalog management without relinquishing control over supplier pricing and user views,
Minimizing costs for both buyer and supplier,
Resolving language and other barriers to scaling their mature e-procurement programs globally, and
Creating consumer-like product search and purchasing experiences for the people using their e-procurement programs and systems

The Webinar will feature a case study presentation by Siemens and will have a special focus on companies looking to strengthen content management and supplier enablement in conjunction with e-procurement solution sets. The event will feature LIVE Q+A with the presenters.
