Hi everybody! The Chicago Spend Matters crew is going a bit stir crazy with the arrival of Polar Vortex 2.0 (so please enjoy your lovely bikini beach weather). Despite our numb fingers, we've managed to keep just warm enough by typing out the following:
eProcurement eProcurement eProcurement! We invite all procurement practitioners and Spend Matters Plus/PRO members to join Jason Busch this morning at 10am Central (that's 4pm UK time, 5pm continental Western Europe - still time to register!! - Editor's note) as he presents the Spend Matters 2014 eProcurement forecast and customer recommendations, complete with shortlists. Register here. You can read more about what he'll cover here.
