Companies have procurement and supply management concerns

In the executive summary of the Provider LensTM Procurement BPO and Transformation Services report, it was stated that continuous disruptions in the global supply chain still force enterprises to re-build their sourcing and procurement processes. It was reported that a significant number of large and midmarket enterprises globally are concerned about their ability to manage procurement and sourcing, to the point where they are considering outsourcing and that most companies will complete this transformation within the next 24 months.

The emphasis was on that many large enterprises are now turning to sourcing and supply chain service providers to expedite their business processes, which represents the first major step toward procurement transformation and transfer of know-how. It was also highlighted that such cooperations do not only focus on improving efficiencies and reducing costs but also may contribute to identifying, preventing, and remedying existing and potential problems.
