Buying enterprise software isn't easy. In fact, it's just as complicated as global sourcing, if not more so (and that's why IT professionals make great global sourcing professionals, as noted in a recent article from Global Services). You're buying something that's immaterial and, these days, ephemeral, but just as costly once all the "hidden" costs are taken into account. What's worse, a mistake can cost you many times the initial purchase price. Accidentally spot buy 10,000 parts incompatible with your current assembly? You sell them at a 10% loss, take a one time hit, learn your lesson, and move on. Move too quickly on that new, on-premise, e-Sourcing platform to take advantage of that limited time "special discount" and lock in a five year term on a platform that is thoroughly incompatible with your ERP? There's an additional seven to eight figures, up front, of custom integration work plus significant third party maintenance each year to keep the middleware running each time you patch your ERP or your new e-Sourcing platform and "break" the custom middleware. Thus, when it comes to enterprise software, you need to be prepared. This presentation, which summarizes the 8-part Sourcing Innovation Series on Buying Enterprise Software, walks you through each step of the process and points out what you need to watch out for when making an enterprise software purchase.]]>

Like it's predecessors in the series, this white paper is about B2B 3.0 (Business-to-Business 3.0), the next generation of technology for the enterprise that generates value throughout the supply chain, and how it enables e-Procurement 3.0, which is the only implementation of e-Procurement technology that is guaranteed to deliver maximum value -- and savings -- to your organization. B2B 3.0 goes beyond simply streamlining processes and decreasing work, it also enables content in new and innovative ways which not only enable commerce, but enable one of the cornerstones of business e-commerce -- e-Procurement. Unlike traditional e-Procurement solutions, which usually attack procurement in a piece-meal fashion, new e-Procurement 3.0 solutions are integrated commerce solutions that support each step of the various procurement cycles in your organization in a tightly-integrated fashion that seamlessly flow from one step to the next. An e-Procurement 3.0 solution, which integrates the m-way matching that eludes so many traditional piece-meal procurement applications at its core, ensures that the organization only pays for goods and services actually received -- and only pays at contracted rates. EProcurement 3.0 solutions succeed where previous generations of e-Procurement solutions failed.]]>

0 Simplifying B2B for Suppliers Enables Buyers /slideshow/simplifying-b2b-for-suppliers-enables-buyers/1366462 b2b30supppliers-090429222011-phpapp02
As an enterprise software user, you’re tired of hearing about “Web 2.0” because, despite all of the buzz it has generated for the last few years, and all of the “value” it has delivered to consumers through Amazon, Google Apps, and Facebook, it hasn’t done a single thing for you. And that’s good. Software is supposed to serve you – you’re not supposed to serve it. That’s why this paper is about B2B 3.0 (Business-to-Business 3.0), the next generation of technology for the enterprise, and how it not only generates value for you and your supplier, but helps you both save time and money in the process – because that’s what enterprise software is supposed to do. Your enterprise software should free you from the mundane and allow you to spend your time conducting commerce instead of fighting with primitive interfaces that force you to do everything but accomplish your goal. Previous generations of B2B technology focused primarily on the buyer, the target customer, under the fallacy that ‘streamlining’ the process for the buyer would lead to the greatest cost savings. The reality is that this ‘streamlining’ resulted in increased work, and thus increased cost, for the supplier who had to ultimately increase their prices to cover their costs. The technology should have focused on ‘streamlining’ the process for the supplier, because this not only results in cost and process savings for the supplier, but it results in cost and process savings for the buyer as well. True commerce is simple for all. That’s B2B 3.0!]]>
