Back to News ReleasesAs noted in the report, “Supplier Enablement: Connecting with Suppliers to Build Lasting Relationships,” supplier enablement remains one of the top three challenges for procurement professionals. Bartolini and his team examined the experiences of more than 200 enterprises to identify emerging best practices for supplier enablement and to provide a framework for organizations to assess their own management capabilities.
“As uncovered in Aberdeen’s latest research, it takes the right technologies coupled with best practices to gain better visibility and truly transform the procurement organization,” stated Eric Zoetmulder, director of Supplier Enablement at SciQuest. “Aberdeen found that best-in-class enterprises enable up to five times more of their supply base, yet a direct electronic connection from an organization to a supplier can run upwards of $15,000. Hence, many organizations struggle with the economics of enabling the suppliers they need to get the most spend under management.”
Zoetmulder continued, “Through one connection to SciQuest, our customers have automated access to relevant, quality suppliers that not only improves communication, but also improves the effectiveness of their supplier relationships. The organization, in turn, benefits greatly from lower transaction costs and greater negotiating leverage through improved spend visibility.”
During the June 20th Webinar, Bartolini will detail Aberdeen’s
PACE Methodology – Pressures, Actions, Capabilities and Enablers
– and define Best-in-Class performance to help organizations
increase visibility and gain control of supplier enablement activities.
He will also share performance benchmarks and provide actionable
recommendations to improve supplier enablement program performance.
