Recession-Proof Your Business: Why Services Spending Represents the Next Great Opportunity for Cost Savings
DENVER, Colorado, April 22, 2008 - IQNavigator, Inc., the leading provider of services procurement software and managed service programs, announced today that it will be exhibiting and holding informational sessions entitled “Recession-Proof Your Business: Why Services Spending Represents the Next Great Opportunity for Cost Savings” at ISM’s 93rd Annual International Supply Management Conference, May 4 through 6, 2008 in St. Louis, Missouri.
In light of the current economic downturn, organizations are facing unrelenting demand to deliver more cost savings and bring more spend under management. According to Forrester Research, “a typical large enterprise spends hundreds of millions of dollars on services providers each year, which can represent anywhere from 30% to 70% of its overall purchases. However, this enormous amount of spending on services is typically under-managed, with lack of control, visibility, and compliance in services spending, leaving significant potential savings on the table.”
As a result, a company’s services spend represents the next great opportunity to capture these savings. IQNavigator will hold three informational sessions during the conference discussing why services procurement is different then goods procurement and requires a different approach than a standard eProcurement solution, why successful services procurement delivers quantifiable value and finally share IQNavigator customer success stories.
Join industry experts as they share why services spending represents the next great opportunity for cost savings at the ISM Show by dropping by booth #626 and signing up for the information sessions that will be held on Monday May 5th and Tuesday May 6th.
