Our Areas of Focus

Our coverage (across our sites and within PRO) focuses on the following solution areas and the companies within them: eProcurement, e-invoicing, P2P, group purchasing organizations (GPOs), leveraged buying/leveraged contracts, supplier enablement, supplier networks, supplier information management, vendor management, supply chain risk, services procurement (general), services procurement (category specific), vendor management systems (VMS), managed services providers (MSPs), supplier risk, e-sourcing, strategic sourcing, contract management, spend analysis, savings implementation and supply chain management (direct materials demand aggregation, multi-tier visibility, planning and forecasting). And of course we sprinkle in a healthy dose of general opinion and broader editorial pertaining to bigger picture procurement, supply chain, trade and economic issues - aimed at everyone from junior analysts to the most seasoned CPOs, COOs and CFOs.
