As a thank you to our loyal readers who keep us at or near the top of the list of the most popular global sites focused on supply management, CPO Rising is pleased to offer a one-day giveaway of Ardent Partners’ recent “State of Spend Analysis” research report (no registration required).

Ardent Partners’ Research has shown that visibility into enterprise spend is the foundation of procurement excellence. Chief Procurement Officers and other procurement leaders who attempt to manage their operations without visibility into their spend, processes, and supply base cannot claim to be leading a truly strategic function. This exclusive report was part of our CPO Rising 2011 research series which drew on the experience, performance, and perspective of nearly 250 Chief Procurement Officers and other procurement executives. This five page report provides insight on the adoption and effectiveness of different spend analysis approaches.

Terms of usage: This report is available to readers of CPO Rising and may be used for internal purposes only. We hope this report can help you place more spend under management and improve your sourcing performance. Companies that sell sourcing/procurement services and solutions, however, may not post, reference, quote, distribute, or use this report for any commercial reasons.
