Supplier Enablement

Supplier Enablement - pressure point

You are thinking about participating in an expedition to the North Pole. You have some questions like; how cold will it be? Would you prefer to believe someone who has completed an expedition to the North Pole or someone who is planning an expedition to the North Pole?

Well as you know I write about supplier enablement and eProcurement. I assert that supplier enablement is a challenge for those implementing eProcurement and often overlooked in the planning stages.

Well, what we can learn from those that have implemented eProcurement. They would likely put on their T-shirt: don't be dumb - suppliers matter

In the world of information research leaders like Aberdeen Group provide real world experience and analysis based on interviews. In a recent report: The EProcurement Benchmark Report of August 2006, they report the top two pressures faced by Procurement organisations are:

supplier enablement - the external interface of the business with suppliers

user adoption - the internal interface of the business with its users

So, those that have done it are telling us that you need a plan for supplier enablement.
