Current Situation
Procurement teams must manually aggregate data or use partially developed SRM systems to view the entire supply base and understand their lifecycle within the enterprise. Historical and non real time data does not provide an accurate picture nor provide enough views to understand the current and possible future state of suppliers
Goals and Objectives
Completely automating the current manual and semi automated supply base lifecycle will provide more intelligence on the suppliers and their importance to the business.
Technology Deployed
Enterprise Hardware, Personal devices, Cloud, Big data/analytics, Mobile, Applications, Connectivity Services, Cognitive, Next Generation Security
Use Case Summary
Automated real time views of the entire supply base from supplier onboarding, to current, previous and upcoming workloads to at risk suppliers to retired or not in current use suppliers will help procurement to manage it’s supply base continuously. Up to date current information that can be modeled for future requirements will help procurement be more proactive in making better and more intelligent decisions.
