A Spend Management strategy can help procurement organisations increase the percentage of their company's spend under active management by providing a framework for rigorously controlling all purchasing activities, across all areas of spend.

Procurement now finds itself as the critical driver of profitability. Though businesses can't control the economic circumstances in which they operate, they can control the money they spend. Procurement has the opportunity to bring more company spend under active management and deliver breakthrough results.

Just a 5% reduction in spend could contribute a 50% increase in profit margin to your company – in today’s economy to have the same impact you would need to increase sales by 50%... can you afford not to find out more?

Companies that have already implemented Spend Management have seen significant results. That is why we are handing over the agenda to our customers.

By attending The Path to Spend Management Excellence on 9th Feb 2005 you will have the opportunity to hear from some of the world’s leading procurement organisations including: BP, Commerzbank and Nokia.
