Description of Web Seminar:

If you are looking to extend the value of your ERP with Supplier Relationship Management (SRM), you may be in for some surprises. Factors outside your control such as supplier recruiting, enablement and support — and the catalogs and data that underpin supplier interactions — can dramatically and unexpectedly increase the cost of a successful SRM project. You may end up limiting your ROI by limiting the number of suppliers you connect.

This seminar is tailored for supply chain professionals evaluating how to best move forward with Supplier Relationship Management. As you consider your options, take an hour to hear Forrester’s latest research on Trends, Leading Practices and the ways Supplier Networks can be successfully leveraged. Quadrem will provide a series of leading practice case studies from its global customer base. Specifically, you will:

• Review industry trends and leading practices in procurement and sourcing
  
  
• Break down the importance of connecting to suppliers by segment and size
  
  
• Understand when to do it yourself and when to leverage supplier networks instead of one-to-one connections
  
  
• Identify where there's value in extending automation beyond the PO and invoice
  
  
• Discover gaps today's supplier networks can bridge in key areas of sourcing, eCatalogs, master data management and supplier onboarding

Featured Speakers:

• Brandon Spear
  Senior Vice President Operations, Quadrem International
  
  
• Andrew (Andy) Bartels
  Vice President, Forrester
