15:45 Panel: Making the Most of Your Outsourcing Engagements

When considering outsourcing a category or part of the procurement function, there are many considerations you must take into account to ensure that you’ll actually receive promised savings. This panel will discuss:
  • Determining what is core to your company’s procurement function, and what can be outsourced
  • Selecting the right BPO for your organization- it’s not one size fits all
  • Achieving value creation and ROI based on what’s outsourced and where
  • Have compliance costs and the dollar’s continued weakness begun eating away at outsourcing’s potential savings?
  • What is the lifecycle of an outsourcing engagement? How does that evolve over time?
  • BPO vs. GPO- benefits and drawbacks
