What is e-Sourcing ? |
| |
Strategic e-Sourcing is a systematic approach that defines a company's supply base and the most appropriate |
| |
relationships with its suppliers by using Internet technology to help determine what they are buying, who they are buying |
| |
it from, and at what commercial terms. This defined process and online tools enable buyers and suppliers to connect and |
| |
contract quickly and efficiently in order to improve the company's strategic competitive position. |
| |
| |
e-Sourcing significantly reduces the strategic sourcing cycle time, rids purchasing organizations of paper-based, |
| |
labor-intensive processes, and complements Internet-based catalog or transactional procurement solutions. |
