Attend this webinar to learn:

• Top procurement objectives for procurement professionals in 2015
• Insights into the trends in 2015 procurement budgets, as compared to 2014
• Various critical performance benchmarks, such as contract compliance, cost savings, spend under management, and so on
• Key 2015 procurement technology developments for major procurement solution sets, i.e. Spend Analysis, Contract Management, eSourcing, Supplier Management, Procure-to-Pay and Procurement Management

Additionally, Zycus’ latest research report reveals how improving relationships and engagement with other business functions/suppliers, strengthening governance structures, compliance management, and broadening procurement’s scope to other key business performance levers, such as cash flow and inventory, are the imminent focus areas for procurement leaders like CPOs in 2015.

The report, interestingly, observes how companies building their procurement capabilities most aggressively are reaping the greatest rewards and achieving significantly higher performance levels when compared to companies that invest less.

“Effectively controlling expenditure – even as economic recovery enables a return to at least modest top-line growth – is   a major focus for CPOs and a major contributor to preserving or enhancing profitability”, says Zycus CEO Aatish Dedhia. “CPOs are gearing up for this new challenge, focusing on process improvements – efficiency, execution, and effectiveness – and forging stronger, more engaged and collaborative relationships with internal business partners and suppliers.” adds Dedhia.
