Healthcare purchasing organizations struggle with waste and inefficiency and are slow to adopt enabling technology.
Users are frustrated; search is slow and
cumbersome
Contract compliance
eroded by rogue spending
Automation is non-existent
Poor data quality; no data standardization
Match exceptions result
in extensive rework
Opportunity
ERP system
Pain: Data Management / Standards
Many
providers
have item
masters that
are bloated
and full of
items that are
non-strategic.
Savings
comes from
“right-sizing”
the item
master.
Pain: Internal Services (waste)

Telecom
Pain: User Experience…How it Should Be…
How it is today…

• Excessive Purchase Order-to-Supplier transaction time
• Heavy reliance on GPOs minimal local contracting
