First Annual Conference Strategic Sourcing: June 21st, 2010
Strategic Sourcing 2010: Driven by value!
That is what this year's conference was all about!
Strategic sourcing is at its crossroads. Many organizations are re-evaluating their sourcing contracts. How about strategy, sourcing governance, supply and demand management? Enterprise and government are ready for a change, a move to get more value out of sourcing relationships!
For IT executives this means they have to become business partners and at the same time challenge their vendors and business counterparts: in the end it’s not really about cost savings – it’s all about business value! So the question is: What is the value of sourcing?
How can this value be achieved? Has insourcing become an option? What about cost savings ánd innovation? New developments like SaaS and the Cloud? Near- versus farshoring? How to develop demand management and manage multi-vendor contracts?
A host of top speakers and IT executives have inspired you, discussed with you and shine their light on one of the most urgent topics of IT and business: Strategic Sourcing.
Besides the Annual Conference Strategic Sourcing, we also facilitate the CIO community and the whole IT-community (and thus also the Outsource-community) by facilitating content, vision and dialoque’s via publishing magazines (a.o. CIO Magazine, TITM and Outsource Magazine), organizing special Roundtables, Study Trips and Master Classes (CIO Academy), around this theme.
More than 250 sourcing professionals were participants of the first annual conference Strategic Sourcing. The highlights of this conference were the spectacular launch of Outsource Magazine and the introduction of the Tommies.
We look forward to see you on the second Strategic Sourcing conference that will be in June 2011. And maby we will meet again at the upcoming CIO Day in November 2010!
Kindest Regards,
