Saving Time, Money & Headaches by Knowing Your Options, and What NOT to Do

Public sector purchasing is riddled with detail-oriented and time-consuming tasks which are commonly viewed as cumbersome. If not implemented correctly, they can lead to even greater costs and headaches.

It will then cover the many time and cost-saving benefits of e-Procurement, culminating with a brief demonstration of current e-procurement capabilities.
