Procurement reform and strategic sourcing
Atos Consulting has an award-winning, best-in-class procurement practice with a strong capability in the delivery of procurement reform and strategic sourcing programmes that can deliver multi-millions in savings to our customers.
Best practice procurement is a vital process for media companies, not least because they are increasingly dependent on third parties for content, service and infrastructure provision. The importance of managing external expenditure and suppliers effectively is therefore growing.
Our approach embraces whole lifecycle costs, demand management and supplier relationship management all geared towards the delivery of continuous improvement and year-on-year cost reduction.
Expertly managed procurement reform and strategic sourcing processes can reduce the cost base of an organisation without targeting its people. However, to be most effective, procurement reform is best implemented in a climate of trust and openness where there is a shared understanding and corporate commitment to the process and intent to transfer best practices throughout the business.
Atos Consulting’s expertise in procurement reform and strategic sourcing has been recognised by awards from the Management Consultancies Association (MCA) and Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS).
