Procurement Sourcing on the Internet Seminar

With the emphasis for Purchasing to lower cost, they must now turn to alternative methods, utilizing the Internet to source and purchase goods and services. Buyers must learn how to take advantage of this tool, and, more importantly, to use it effectively. Procurement Sourcing on the Internet equips buyers with the knowledge and techniques to remain competitive as commerce on the Internet continues its rapid expansion.

Our seminar begins with an explanation of Internet basics and the benefits of using the Internet, plus how it relates to Purchasing. Procurement Sourcing on the Internet then builds upon this foundation, discussing specific procurement issues, such as purchasing catalogs, supplier feedback, and strategic planning.

As electronic commerce moves to the forefront of procurement, many factors must be considered and many decisions made before buyers can use the Internet to its fullest capacity. Procurement Sourcing on the Internet addresses these factors, including security, dollar investment and transaction size, using distributors, legal and statutory concerns, and more.

From e-mail to posting RFQs and RFIs to online catalogs and beyond Š the Internet is a potentially significant resource for locating suppliers. Procurement Sourcing on the Internet strips away the confusion surrounding electronic commerce and allows buyers to focus on capitalizing on this resource Š using the internet to carry out their assigned tasks more effectively and efficiently.
