On average\, organisations spend fifty percent of their income on buying the goods and services that they need to be successful – and in some sectors this can thiscan exceed eighty percent. It is imperative that this expenditure is managed and controlled effectively. Procurement is increasingly being viewed as a strategic function within organisations\, with the CPO (Chief Procurement Officer) having a seat on the board. Proactive\, professional procurement has become a well-respected value-adding function within the organisation and has achieved the recognition it deserves in delivering business a real competitive edge in the market. \nDigital solutions hold great promise to improve yet further the effectiveness of procurement and there is already a well-developed\, but rapidly changing market for e-procurement (electronic procurement) solutions.
