Driving Down Costs Remains An Important Goal For All Businesses

1. Driving Down Costs Remains An Important Goal For All Businesses Businesses’ main goal will, most likely, almost always be to show profit, to be able to meet all financial demands and to continue to grow their influence in a competitive environment. Therefore almost everybody these days have a presence on the internet, a good website and a dedicated service to ensure their IT requirements are in place and contribute to the growth and success of the business. Not every manager or employee of every business has the know-how in terms of which they understand the importance of their company’s IT responsibilities, requirements and needs, therefore most employ the services of an IT consultant with the necessary background and expertise to take care of this important aspect of their business on their behalf. Good IT consultantscan offer advice and support over a wide front, and they are able to take care of virtually every IT responsibility companies task them with. They also must understand that no two companies share the same vision, have the same needs and requirements, or will benefit from the same services. Good consultants will always analyze their client’s’ position before they set any process in motion, in other words, they will offer a bespoke service aimed at the profile of the individual clients with their own unique expectations and needs. This also impacts the all-important aspect of procurement. Procurement refers to various aspects of procuring materials, goods, products, services and a host of other examples that refer to the acquisition of aids that the company needs to perform their tasks. In terms of IT, specifically, it can refer to many sectors in your business, whether you need certain hardware and the latest devices for your employees, or the best software that your company needs to performproperly, or the best security tools to safeguard your organizationagainstcyber-attacks and breaches. The list goes on. Companies that outsource procurement may be doing themselves a great favour when they approach and employ the services of a well-experienced IT service that understandswhat IT procurement management is about. A good IT service will save their clients money and time when they take over this important facet of the business.

2. As procurement specialists they will ensure they offer their clients the best advice and assistance to save them money and time, to make sure they cut out unnecessary steps in the procurement chain. By offering their services as a single point of contact when it comes to the procurement of hardware and software, by reducing (even cutting out some)their clients’supplier base from various to one, they save and streamline, they help the client stay within budget. Once they have studied the client’s profile and established what is needed – and what not – for the client to run a smooth operation regarding their IT needs, they can come up with the best procurement management requirements for the clients and their individual needs. By outsourcing certain services – such as procurement – companies stand to save huge amounts, including, for example, the services of a dedicated in-house procurement officer in many cases. Procurement managed services – such as an IT professional that takes over certain functions of their clients – play an important role when it comes to different areas of clients’ tail spend as well. Tail spend is that amount of money spent during procurement that some may feel is negligible, but which may indeed impact the company’s greater budget and related financial profile. It is also considered to be, approximately, 80% of transactions taking place, with around 20% of total spend value. A good procurement service can see to it that this tail spend is well controlled, that it does not interfere with budget and that the client, therefore, records very good savings. Procurement management helps to simplify processes by reducing the number of suppliers – also for your IT component – and it will help to reduce risk as the service acts as intermediary between client and supplier, provided you deal with a good, experienced service.
