Late notice, but if you are around tomorrow and interested in understanding one of the more technology intriguing areas in procurement, AP, and supply management – business networks – I invite you to attend the webinar below (click to register). It will be tomorrow November 7 at 2 pm Eastern and is sponsored by Ariba.
The selection of a business or B2B network has become a strategic decision and one that should be based on total value and cost, not simply price. There are many factors and variables that go into a the selection of a business network and many stakeholders as well. Surprisingly, many of these variables and key stakeholders are often ignored. I will be presenting a Total Cost of Ownership framework that can help enterprises select the right network. Hope to see you there.

Webinar Description:
The evolution of business networks is transforming how organizations conduct business commerce. Recent research from Ardent Partners has shown that more companies are using business networks more frequently and achieving greater results from their usage. Business networks lead to increased efficiency and visibility throughout the procure-to-pay process, and foster practice improvements that lead to greater organizational collaboration.
During this webinar we’ll explore how companies can deploy a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) approach to the evaluation and adoption of a business network. We’ll examine the various types of business networks and highlight the potential benefits that stakeholders throughout an organization can gain transacting through the right business network.
