 Back to Practical E-Procurement
While most purchasing professionals do not dispute the potential benefits of introducing e-procurement, the creation of a robust business case to justify the necessary business and financial commitment can be a major stumbling-block. CTG's e-procurement Business Case Development Service helps you overcome this barrier.
Our consultants understand that an effective business case requires not only an accurate and achievable cost/benefit analysis, but also a comprehensive consideration of the business impact of the implementation, and how it will be managed. Business buy-in is equally crucial. Throughout the business case development process, we work with you to obtain the stakeholder and end-user support that is essential both to obtain funding and ensure the smooth implementation of the solution.
Our approach features:
- Close CTG/client collaboration through joint-team working
- Facilitated workshops to compress timescales and encourage collaboration and buy-in
- Innovation techniques to stimulate ideas and 'break the mould'
- A focus on the practical realities of e-procurement
It includes:
- A realistic, achievable savings case: We don't use highly exaggerated 'market claims' for savings. Instead, we work with your staff to analyse your spending and create a benefits model that is specific to your business and that you can be confident in realising.
- Process analysis and optimisation: Many organisations will benefit from streamlined, automated processes. Understanding the existing process and mapping it to an e-procurement model is an essential prerequisite to quantifying the potential benefits.
- Business impact and implementation strategy: All too often, cost/benefit cases fail to adequately address the realities of implementation. CTG helps you decide how the solution will be rolled out and how the critical business change will be managed. Unless these strategies are incorporated in the business case, timings, costings and ROI models will be inaccurate; the business case will lack credibility and implementation can be compromised.
- Accurate cost modelling for maximised ROI: CTG helps your business understand the various e-procurement business models and solution types and their impact on the cost/benefit model. An in-depth understanding of where major benefits will come from enables you to select the solution or business model that will achieve them—for minimum investment.
