Through primary research, this whitepaper analyzes managing and mitigating supplier risk.

Roadmap to Best Practices of IT Integrated Procurement Talking to many CIOs, CFOs and CPOs on IT Integrated Procurement and the pain points are always the same--- “Show me how to consolidate, streamline, cut costs, reduce risk and optimize.  Increase efficiency and make the processes that are used, better and simpler. Ultimately, how can I optimize IT spend and get the greatest value from all areas of IT and IT Procurement?” Optimizing spend is realized through both people and processes---- vendor management, contract and asset management, controlling Tail Spend and leveraging supplier diversity.
