PRINCETON, N.J., March 11, 2014 – As a part of our ever-going efforts to better comprehend the constantly evolving enterprise procurement challenges and best practices around the globe, Zycus is pleased to present the US edition of Pulse of Procurement 2014 report on the state of procurement performance and technology. The survey was conducted among 300 procurement practitioners, over 75% of them being senior level executives from $2 billion plus companies in North America.
The report will help procurement executives to look beyond the current snapshots into emerging trends as enterprise strategic procurement functions continue to evolve and become mature. It delves into:
- The pain areas for procurement in 2014
- The state of procurement in 2014
- The benchmarks for procurement performance
- The upcoming trends in procurement technology
- The procurement executive’s technology wish-list
Zycus CEO Aatish Dedhia says, “Based on the findings of the report, we are excited to observe that, after many years of intense focus on fixing old problems, procurement appears to be moving into a new phase - characterized by innovation - in which information gets transformed into competitive business intelligence, sourcing and procurement activities become more forward-focused and predictive and the scope of procurement’s performance contributions expands into many areas beyond purchase costs and process efficiency.”
Zycus began this research series back in 2011 with a motive of better understanding the needs of the procurement community at large and since then, has released various region specific versions of this research on a regular basis.
