In this briefing paper we take a look at how spend analytics, and smart and creative use of the source data, can help organisations answer some of those tricky, complex, or even embarrassing questions relating to procurement expenditure. We look at questions such as: How do I get to the bottom of tail spend? and How much corruption really goes on my organisation?

Over the last 12 months, an increasing number of procurement organizations have come to Spend Matters asking how to solve their “tail spend problem.” The issue is simple to grasp — figuring out how to handle the 85%–90% of suppliers that constitute only 5%–10% of spend without consuming the majority of the procurement staff’s time — but far from easy to fix. To better understand the problem and determine the best solutions, we conducted a research study on how companies are addressing tail spend.

In this two-part series turned to paper, Pierre Mitchell discusses the need for a truly strategic supply chain sourcing platform built on a supply network design model rather than just the typical BOM-based sourcing workflows and low-level commodity sourcing efforts that use “empty” e-RFX tools. He details the full requirements for such a supply network-based platform in a four-part series (linked within this paper), but in Part 4, one of the trends highlighted included a pivot from such empty apps to content-enabled apps increasingly provided by large service providers that use cloud-based analytics and intelligence platforms as a way to deliver continuous insight and value. In that piece, he highlights Deloitte’s Global Sourcing Insights (GSI) solution as a prime example. This paper goes a step further and examines the solution as a whole.
