Depending on Organization Roles Can Be the Same or a Director may have more actual authority than a CPO in one organization vs. another

strategic goals• Escaping the grip of expensive legacy systems and process

Resources Make Up 12% of Budget – Most going to allocations to legacy systems and overhead and ~ 10% for computers, phones etc
Purchasing ROI
Cost Saving + Cost AvoidancePurchasing Operations Cost
B Kohnen August 2013
• Any ROI above 1 is coming out ahead
• Average Purchasing ROI is 5.5
• Having a huge ROI could be the result of putting few resources into purchasing
• Problem is “Purchasing activities could be happening unaccounted for in higher cost less efficient areas. (Engineering, IT, Operations)
CPO challenge Leveraging Investment in Team
• Too little and negative ROI and absolute savings minimum and not scalable
• Too fast and negative ROI and bloated. CPOs know they need quick big wins to ‘fund” further growth
• Align investment with success to continue to create self funding absolute value to enable support to strategic items

Companies Stuck with Legacy ERP Systems
Purchasing Tools Must Cross Chasm To Enable Better Performance
Innovative Cloud Based B2B Purchasing Tools to Optimize Purchasing and Supply Chain
Enterprise ERP Based Purchasing and SCM Tools that Are Good Enough for Status Quo
New tools needed for better results.Purchasing Organizations encountering friction with current tools and are relying on a finite # of purchasing pros to meet goals- which is not scalable.
Innovative Purchasing Tools Into the Majority in 2015 –Why?
• CPOs need tools• Innovators tools more stable and generally more acceptance of Software
as a Service Cloud Solutions• Ironically introduction of legacy ERP Vendors cloud products provides
credibility even if their products remain expensive and not fully integrated and optimized. Some CPOs will have to “settle” for these tools.
• Early Majority results will set benchmarks that even the “establishment consultant and legacy ERP players “will not be able to contain
• Purchasing Teams and organizations using the innovative tools will like them and not accept legacy systems or approach's.
