As companies grow and mature, they become better and more sophisticated at selling products, retaining customers, driving revenue, and growing their workforce.  However, during this growth and maturation process, some critical business functions are left behind or become severely neglected.

Companies begin spending more capital with suppliers for products and services that are vital to the company operations.  However, their procurement processes and operations do not evolve and mature to accommodate this change in supplier spend.  They remain entrenched in the current inefficient purchasing processes and practices.  The procurement group continues to process requisitions and purchase orders but lack the skills, experience, and processes to manage and leverage this larger and more complex supplier spend.  They continue to operate as an “activity-based” purchasing operation instead of maturing into a “strategic-based” procurement operation.  Tens of thousands and potentially millions of dollars are wasted or remain unnegotiated.  This inefficiency erodes operating income, investment, and unnecessarily increases operating expenses.
