09:40 360º Perspectives – How can you adapt your sourcing process to keep pace with fast-changing technology?
There is massive pressure on the IT function to move with the market and deliver new functionalities and technologies for customers and for market differentiation. This in turn puts pressure on procurement to be agile with the available suppliers.
-
How is IT being used innovatively for market differentiation and to deliver to the changing demands of the customer?
-
What is the right procurement model to accommodate stakeholder demands?
-
With digitalisation of the industry, how can you manage the risks associated with new areas/ supplier bases?
-
How should contracts be adjusted to meet these new needs/risks? For example, cost maybe 10% higher to use a new supplier who maybe creating something innovative but what milestones should be put in place to exit the contract if the market is not yet ready to adopt the new technology?
-
How can you identify long-term technology needs to stay one step ahead of the product lifecycle?
-
Where are the opportunities in moving from a traditional licensing model to open source? Open source is readily available, can be amended easily and shared back with everyone. What are the different working models?
-
Are there steps sourcing can take to speed up the process when it comes to IT purchasing? Are there any procurement processes which can be automated?
