13:35 Workshop: Vendor Management and Other Best Practices of the SIM IT Procurement Working Group

Today’s procurement organizations are challenged in a number of ways: moving at the speed of business, doing more with less, collaborating with its business clients, showing value to the C-level, etc. The Society for Information Management (SIM) IT Procurement Working Group (ITPWG) recently conducted a benchmarking effort to evaluate its member companies’ IT procurement organizations and their practices. The data gathered is being used by the member companies to re-examine how they are structured, their reporting chain and what best practices they might want to implement. Examples of those best practices include but are not limited to supplier relationship management, commodity planning, business client/procurement collaboration, and IT standards setting. During this presentation, the ITPWG will be sharing its findings with the attendees. We hope you will find value in our information for your own organization. The ITPWG is comprised principally of information management, legal, academic, and procurement leaders who are committed to improving IT procurement best practices. The majority of the member companies are in the Fortune 500. The information which will be shared during the presentation will reflect their organizations and practices.
