You need to get spend under management now, but the IT "powers that be" who control the company's ERP projects can't even estimate when they will get to your project. Do you wait it out and continue to waste money? Or do you step up, and make something happen?

Stop "Waiting" for ERP, Take Action Now!

Join David Howard, Director of Central Purchasing at Reebok-CCM and Jason Hekl, Vice President of Marketing at Coupa Software for this live one-hour webinar and take away some great ideas on how to:

  • convince others that tighter manual controls are not sufficient to effectively manage spend
  • build a business case and ROI model for your e-procurement initiative that makes it easy for management to say "Yes"
  • make others understand that you just can't turn "brain work" into "brawn work" without process automation
  • manage a detailed vendor evaluation without letting it consume your life
  • change people's perceptions about the viability of the software-as-a-services model
  • position e-procurement as a strategic extension to your ERP system, and not upset the apple cart
  • use your success to position yourself for a more strategic role inside the organization
