About this programme
Electronic contracting and the automation of business transactions, such as acquiring goods or services between trade partners, are referred to as “e-Procurement”. e-Procurement can be used within the private sector or between private and public sector transactions. Cost saving and efficiency advantages encourage changing their traditional process to e-Procurement. The electronic handling of tasks simplifies the process, increases transaction speed, and enables virtual relationships with suppliers. It will allow resources to focus more on value-added tasks.
This e-Procurement Strategies training course will help participants to develop and manage an efficient e-Procurement process system. You will learn how to establish an e-procurement system that can take care of the purchase-to-pay process for your organization through the Internet. You will understand the different stages of the e-Procurement implementation process in detail. It will cover developing strategic purchasing plans and managing key performance indicators (KPIs).
