Best Practices in Procurement for 2020
DIGITAL OPTIMIZATION
The process of using digital
technology to improve existing
operating processes and/or
business models.
DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION
The process of exploiting the
latest digital technologies and
practices to create a new
sustainable digital business
model.
THE PATH TO BECOMING A DIGITAL BUSINESS
Gartner, Digital Business Transformation: Closing the Gap Between Ambition and Reality, Ian Cox, Kristin Moyer, 18 June 2018.
Maturity
The Nordics are highly
mature, technically advanced
and yet, not uniformly.
Classic KPIs still rule but as
challenges change, so will the
goals.
Where are we today?
Complexity
Complexity in procurement
processes has become the
top challenge.
Technology both creates this
and solves it simultaneously
Servicification
For many years, services
procurement has been
increasing.
What were products are now
offered as services.

Managing Complexity
Question:
 What best practices would
you suggest can
procurement teams
implement in order to
simplify and rationalize
their procurement
operations?
Is procurement becoming more complex?

Catalogs
• Specific catalogs
• Specific catalog views
• Standard supplier catalogs
Freeform suppliers
• Preselection according to
Material Code field
• Supplier lists
Structured data
• Transfer of specific contract structures
• Structure is specified by "purchasing
organization"
Consideration of dependencies
• Software License Management
• Call from framework contracts
Special material fields
• Cable (MTZ)
• Employee allocation
• Services
Standardized packages
• IT workstation (eg desktop)
• Kits & Bundles
• BOMs
eProcurement
Maturity
Model
Best Practices and Maturity
As an example: catalogs are
great but don’t ignore the
value of free-text
requisitioning.
Avoid the low hanging fruit
Best practices for managing
complexity
eProcurement tools are limited
Don’t think an e-procurement
tool solves all your problems.
The work only begins once
you have the data.
Sharpen the Saw
Agile procurement teams are
always evolving the service
they offer.
Engaging Suppliers
Good Supplier Engagement is Data-centric
Typical challenges
• Supplier related master data maintenance
• Supplier inquiries
• Paperwork, manual data entry
• Supplier qualifications
27%
Leading organizations attribute
27% of their value to supplier
management excellence.*
Our approach
• Invitation based supplier on-boarding
• Full self-service options for supplier information mgnt
• E-invoicing onboarding self-selection
• Auto-alerts for contract or certificate validity
*Source: ATKearney 2017
Managing supplier data
Outsource the maintenance of supplier data
immediately via supplier information mgmt. tools.
Use auto-alerts
Certificates and contracts are practically useless
if they are not up to date.
Leverage automation
Catalogs can be auto-validated and approved
with changes flagged.

Questions:
 What is it about services
procurement that makes it so
difficult?
 Do you see servicification as an
ever-increasing trend?
Is servicification changing the game?
KNOW YOUR SERVICE PROCUREMENT USE CASES
A thorough as-is vs. to-be analysis is required to
significantly impact purchase and process costs when
it comes to the operational procurement of services.
SERVICE ITEMIZATION OR “PRODUCTIZATION”
In terms of requisitioning, some service categories
can be treated like goods. By productizing services
and utilizing service order configurators even complex
service categories can be managed efficiently.
EMPOWER THE SUPPLIER
In certain service procurement use cases it is highly
feasible to utilize supplier self-service tools, after all
reducing the TCO should be a joint effort.
