Experience the savings of SRM before you buy

SAP last month introduced a hosted sourcing platform and associated services for mySAP SRM (supplier relationship management) system that means manufacturers can trial online supplier operations before committing. SAP also announced supporting partnerships, with services to identify savings, prepare and execute online materials sourcing events, and implement corporate purchasing platforms. SAP says its hosted platform will provide quick savings and quantifiable proof of value for companies considering their options or that are unable to implement a system right away. It means that companies can run a series of events – including RFIs, RFQs and reverse auctions – as a trial before bringing a fully fledged system in-house and embedding the sourcing methodology within their core purchasing processes. mySAP SRM then provides the integration necessary for SAP customers to migrate all their data, history and reports from the hosted system to your enterprise system.
