e-Procurement Developing, Implementing and Managing the Complete Process

e-Procurement Developing, Implementing and Managing the Complete Process

Introduction:

e-Procurement is the business to business purchase and sale of supplies and services over the Internet.  More and more organizations are viewing the application of best practices in e-procurement as being essential skill sets needed by all employees involved in the procurement process.  This programme focuses on the development of e-procurement in an organization that then leads onto the management of the complete e-procurement process.

This programme develops how to establish an e-procurement system within an organization that needs to purchase through the Internet.  The important stage of managing the process is discussed in some depth.  We establish how to provide and measure procurement contributions to the organization so that this critical function and all those in it can be elevated to be seen as a core organization competency.
