Encouraging Strategic Suppliers to Join Services Procurement

Not all suppliers, especially large, well-known suppliers, are enthusiastic about participating in a VMS program for services procurement and SOW-based initiatives. Despite their reluctance, there are good reasons for you to encourage – or even mandate – their participation. When these suppliers do not utilize the tool, your program suffers from a major lack of visibility and compliance, taking away your ability to gain valuable insights from reporting and analytics tools, and putting your organization at risk.

This whitepaper equips you with information you need to get your strategic suppliers to use a VMS for services procurement and SOW-based initiatives, as well as opens your eyes to the risks of not enforcing full participation.
