Source to Pay Suite: Spend Analysis | eSourcing | Contract Management | Supplier Management | Savings Management | Project Management | Request Management | Procure-to-Pay Partner Speaks “I have worked with various technology vendors in the past 14 years+ of my career in Consulting and Sales. What sets Zycus apart from the other vendors is their willingness to support the Partner throughout the journey. The support goes beyond training resources and expecting the Partner to deliver the project. Zycus adopts a more hands-on approach. In our Organisation’s case, we started with Project Managing and Procurement Consulting and now in our 3rd project, we are implementing the solution end-to- end. Apart from implementation, Zycus also supports during the sales cycle, providing pre-sales support and case studies as and when required. Besides occasional hiccups now and then, I am pleased with the journey so far and the support provided by Zycus.” –Partner “Zycus is a quick guide to transform large enterprise procurement to compete in digital era. Southeast Asia enterprises procurement process is familiar with micro-management and multi-approval, which takes too much time to support rapidly changed business. Zycus has strategically helped my clients with global best practices, and tactically applied good local use cases into the product. It helps my clients in the long run.” – Partner
