To manage today's highly volatile commodity markets and risk-prone global supply chains, companies are looking for more savings and overall operational efficiency, forcing procurement organizations to think differently. For many companies indirect procurement offers a source of untapped savings and opportunity to increase business impact. Traditional sourcing and transactional buying approaches, however, were not designed to manage the highly distributed and widely varied nature of indirect goods and services. Progressive companies have adopted a comprehensive approach that delivers sustained value and impact to the organization. In this presentation, Symantec will share their strategy and approach to transform indirect procurement into a source of significant savings, strategic partner to the business and enabler of corporate goals.
