In this webinar we look at steps procurement can take to demonstrate value in the indirect spend categories, particularly for short term project and consulting services procured under a statement of work (SOW) while maintaining controls around process, cost and risk.
This webinar will examine:

- Balancing back end procure to pay processes and systems to allow Buyers to drive more strategy within indirect categories
- How visibility of SOW spend - particularly tail spend - can improve supplier and cost optimization strategies
- What role procurement can play between suppliers and internal stakeholders. How can procurement measure supplier performance to ensure suppliers are meeting the overall business needs?
- How to balance these approaches across geographies and businesse
