* Why Procurement Outsourcing?

Why Cost Reduction Outsourcing?

* The Aberdeen Group, one of the premier business management research groups, stated that one of the biggest growth areas in Business Process Outsourcing will be procurement outsourcing.

* Companies and their Human resources and internal purchasing departments are increasingly seeking the involvement of third-party experts to leverage their abilities to Enhance Benefits and Drive Down Costs.

* Some of the reasons are:* Changes in ACA Regulations creating need to Reduce Benefits costs;* Increased global competition and business growth;* Need to gain access to improved pricing and better sources; and* Pressures to re-focus personnel on more strategic activities.

* The Vast Global Need!

The Vast Global Need“Forty percent of businesses surveyed plan to use outsourced procurement…”

Aberdeen Group – Procurement Outsourcing: A Strategic Imperative

“Outsourcing procurement activities is necessary for us because we lack the

in-house resources to properly manage such area catalogues or invoices for

our supply base. Outsourcing also provides us access to market pricing and

knowledge that we don’t have the resources or time to develop.”

Director of Procurement, European Municipality from the Aberdeen Group – Procurement Outsourcing: A Strategic Imperative Report
