PRINCETON, N.J.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Zycus, a global leader in Procurement Performance solutions announced
today that it is collaborating with the Institute for Supply Management
(ISM) to host an interactive webinar titled ―”Leveraging Procurement
Technology to Meet Business Objectives” which will be aired on November
29, 2011 at 2.00 p.m. ET. Stephen G. Mack, CPSM, C.P.M., Director –
Procurement Services at The University of Missouri System and James
Thomas, Manager – Strategic Marketing at Zycus will be the primary
speakers while John Yuva, Associate Editor, ISM will moderate the
session.
Steve has been in higher education purchasing since 1982 and is an
active participant in National Association for Educational Procurement
(NAEP) since 1984. Mack’s purchasing experience includes service at
Brigham Young University, Ricks College, The University of Oklahoma, and
the University of Arizona.
Through this webinar, Steve will share insights from his experiences of
implementing procurement technology and the impact it had on the key
areas of visibility & compliance within their procurement function and
how they have been able to add value to the organization on a whole.
Procurement has moved from the ‘front line’ to the very heart of high
performing businesses and this move has brought with it areas where
procurement can make a strategic impact. High performing businesses have
certain strategic imperatives that need to be achieved to excel in
today’s competitive and volatile business environment. Efficient
procurement processes can help align purchasing decisions with corporate
strategy, and thus increase the value obtained from investments. The
webinar will provide insight into technology and tactics used by the
best-in-class organizations which have had a direct impact on the
organization’s bottom line.
The key learnings from this webinar will be,
-
Building support for new initiatives with the leadership and managing
end user behavior -
Making sense of spend patterns and identifying saving opportunities
beyond the obvious spend categories -
Creating new competitive advantages through identification of new
sources of supply and well negotiated contracts
