Build Baseline Facts

Spend Analysis & Business Case

Helps the buying organization and/or its agents build a consolidated and enterprise-wide fact-base of historical Direct & Indirect expenditures. Provides data capture (from legacy/enterprise systems and other procurement data bases) and migration templates and tools.

With spend analysis and categorization tools/templates the buyer can decompose and classify spend by commodity or category type, by business unit, by functional department, by organizational entity or by Vendor/Supplier. A spend "build up" enables the buyer to "concentrate" enterprise spend value and volume and identify opportunities for leverage and spend reduction – build the business case for strategic sourcing.
