The ability to quickly access, organize and analyze Spend Data is key to your Global Sourcing program's success. Access to timely, accurate, complete, and detailed

Spend Data offers invaluable intelligence on spending patterns, compliance, performance ratings, inventory status, and part attributes. This insight is essential to

identify saving opportunities as well as developing, sourcing, budgeting, planning, and enable your sourcing organization to gain complete visibility. Lack of visibility

across geographies, suppliers and commodities affects your ability to reduce Spend and improve efficiency.
