<p>Vendor management is a repeatable, effective method for developing and monitoring third-party providers of goods and services. It is also a way to derive as much VALUE as possible from contracts and build mutually-beneficial long-term relationships.</p>



<p>Vendor management is a core competence in successful business. In a competitive marketplace, businesses must look at creative ways to extract more value from providers, while reducing risk and upholding quality.</p>



<p>Simply beating&nbsp;<span class="text_exposed_show">suppliers down on price year after year is not a sustainable strategy!</span></p>



<div class="text_exposed_show">
<p>Here&#8217;s a 5-Point Checklist To Manage Your Vendors Better!</p>
<ol>
<li>Spend analysis is a window into your business. Perform a spend analysis on third-party spend for one year. Is it what you expected to see?</li>
<li>Review your vendors based on the historical spend. What has changed? You may need to refocus on new or different suppliers.</li>
<li>Talk to your key vendors about continuous improvement. It&#8217;s important to open the lines of communication. Relationship building has its rewards. Adversarial vendor “relationships” help no-one so make sure you work together to resolve any issues.</li>
<li>Work on a plan for key vendors and re-look at the KPIs. Are they still relevant to use to assess and monitor performance?</li>
<li>Do you have a risk management plan? Every company has financial and operational risks. If you have one, review it based on the economic situation you are facing now. If you don&#8217;t getting one is critical.</li>
</ol>
<p>Our Solution is Fully Managed.</p>
<p>Experts daily identify spending inefficiencies and potential vendor improvements. We focus on many various processes to obtain: credits, refunds, improved rates, contract terms and conditions.</p>
<p>We differentiate ourselves by creating a superior spend and vendor management process aligned with a fully managed global software solution.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2><strong>Cost Creep. Has this HAPPENED to YOU?</strong></h2>
<p>Your company starts to grow, and you need more technology to keep up with additional staff, customers and to help improve process. You are aware of the efficiencies and cost savings made possible by new technologies and are upgrading their infrastructures as a result.</p>
<p><strong>But are you aware of How Purchasing more Technology can lead to Cost Creep?</strong></p>
<p>Every CFO knows about “cost creep”; the slow build up over time in the cost/revenue ratio.   In today’s marketplace, there are an increasing number of service providers who can deliver more efficient solutions, giving end users more options than ever.</p>
<p>In the beginning new suppliers are on their very best behavior, cutting deals and slashing cost. The client will enjoy some pretty large cost savings during the first couple of years.</p>
<p>However, as the contract matures and becomes <strong><u>less visible</u></strong> to the client, costs begin to slowly creep up until, if unchecked, they can accelerate way beyond the initially agreed upon amount.</p>
<p>When you purchase more services, your plans may mutate, creating new contracts that incur additional charges. Over time, small ancillary charges can appear but are not questioned, increasing your bills slowly. This “creep” may leave you paying for services you do not need and may not even understand.</p>
<p>Because data is at the heart of every business and it plays a crucial role in businesses staying connected, technology bills are perceived as a necessary fixed expense and are often overlooked even when the initial cost has increased yet services have not changed.</p>
<p>Companies, Organizations and Businesses can easily incur monthly expenses ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars each month.  Managing the <u>financial component of vendors can be a nightmare!</u> <em>Looking at just telecom you have: Multiple carriers, multiple contracts, introductory offers, equipment, and different locations. </em>Just these factors can lead to poor financial management and procurement processes.</p>
<p><strong>LEARN MORE ABOUT COST CREEP </strong>from Todd Larsen, CEO</p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/PLOOFt_Wa_s" width="454" height="280" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen">&lt;span data-mce-type=&#8221;bookmark&#8221; style=&#8221;display: inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height: 0;&#8221; class=&#8221;mce_SELRES_start&#8221;&gt;﻿&lt;/span&gt;</iframe></p>
<h4><strong>Are you overlooking the financial costs of managing suppliers? What are the risks of doing that? </strong></h4>
<p>Here are findings from top research names in the industry. While cost creep <strong>can occur with any supplier</strong> these statistics share the findings in just telecom alone…</p>
<ul>
<li>&#8211; Telecom costs rank in the top 5 expenses for most companies (Gartner)</li>
<li>&#8211; 80% of carrier bills contain errors (Gartner)</li>
<li>&#8211; Telecom analysts spend on average 20% of their time identifying errors (Gartner)</li>
<li>&#8211; Enterprises forfeit 12%-17% of telecom expenses <strong>without a proactive approach to telecom cost management</strong> (Aberdeen Group)</li>
</ul>
<p>With a Vendor Management Solution contract experts can negotiate a fixed rate for a particular service. The contract terms must be met ensuring that both parties are aware of what is expected and any variances will be flagged and the vendor will be held accountable for any charges and changes outside of the agreed terms.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Measurable Results:</strong> Vendor management allows businesses to gain access to vendor performance tracking, providing spend visibility, cost controls, cost reduction results, document management, process improvement, compliance tracking and more.</p>
<p>Vendor Management Solutions manage potential supplier risk whether in terms of unforeseen cost implications or regulatory compliance. VMS provides businesses with a clearer view into the unpredictability of billing and vendor costs that can result in lost profits when not managed.</p>
<p><strong>Increased Efficiencies with Document Management:</strong> A vendor management solution increases overall efficiencies in the form of improved security of confidential files. If a business does not have the appropriate means to safely secure files, VMS tools provide a safe document management service for confidential information, agreements, terms, licensing agreements, inspection reports and more.</p>
<p><strong>Reduced Costs:</strong> Vendor management is more than getting the lowest price. The key is for both sides to align on what constitutes a good value. When you have increased visibility, you can see invisible costs which results in better control in order to save.</p>
<p><strong>Corporate Compliance:</strong> VMS manages business contractual compliance, which includes a standardization of all billing processes. This process includes bill rate standardization and management. Once you have a supplier active in a vendor management system, you can track and measure performance against the contract to ensure that the company is meeting your needs and complying with your requirements.</p>
<p>Industry experts argue that it is necessary for businesses to put in place a quantifiable contract compliance performance metrics to achieve the types of savings opportunities that best-in-class organizations realize on a daily basis.</p>
<p>Eliminating purchases made within an organization that are not in compliance with negotiated contract terms reduces wastes and can reduce costs. Structured vendor management implementation results in vendor fraud reduction and has an immediate impact on vendor processes and visibility into unnecessary spend. Quantifiable measurements for compliance help to identify these underperforming segments.</p>
<p><strong>Monitor and Track Performance:</strong> The data and analytics you receive from tracking performance can signal challenges before they become problems and identify areas that may need improvement. Robust analytics provide unique visibility into vendors, expenses, budgeting and profits. The ongoing fully managed process magnifies ROI results.</p>
<p>The most important success factor of vendor management is to share information and priorities with your vendors. Vendor management tools can also be found to enhance items such as requisitions, approvals, expense management, payment and reporting. Overall, processes run smoothly when managed by a VMS team that is dedicated to ensuring both parties (business and vendors) meet all requirements of a contract.</p>
<p>Contact <strong>LIMITLESS</strong> today for a <strong>FREE CONSULTATION</strong> to discover how to get control of your unmanaged spend, reduce expenses and implement a vendor management solution in your business.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Even a slight over-charge can add up to a considerable amount over time.</h3>
<p><strong>No matter how corporate billing is done, it’s a mistake to think that billing today is computerized and accurate.</strong></p>
<p>Companies of all sizes can make mistakes; even one missed keystroke can turn into a billing error over-charging a business (<em>your business</em>). Sometimes billing errors go on unchecked for months or even years, and end up <strong>costing businesses millions of dollars.</strong></p>
<h3>Vendor <strong>/</strong> Service Provider Billing Errors</h3>
<p>Cable TV, phone, internet, and other communication services on are essential services for businesses. However, there are some very common telecom and utility billing errors that customers should watch out for.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>&#8211; Billing past the cancellation date: </strong>Telecom companies may continue to invoice monthly charges after the customer has requested a cancellation. This can occur for years after the cancellation and in some cases even after the business has moved from its location.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>&#8211; Incorrect rates being charged: </strong>In some cases businesses are charged incorrect rates for the services being performed. This happens when the initial discounts are not honored or applied upon renewals. This can be caused by an oversight on behalf of the provider or misleading agreements that set limitations in disclaimers.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>&#8211; Charging for services the company did not request.</strong> Charging for services the business did not request? Sounds impossible right? It does happen and more often than you might think. Services like internet faxing or network monitoring are added to the account and the customers pay additional fees unknowingly for these services.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>&#8211; 3<sup>rd</sup> Party Fees: </strong>The most frustrating section of your telecom invoice is “Third Party Billing.”  These fees occur when your telecom vendor simply acts as a billing agent. These fees are usually for services that your company does not use. Situations like this are referred to as “slamming” or “cramming” fees. In many cases these fees are overlooked and are not questioned. Errors and overage charges in these telecom billing components allow companies to be taken advantage of, and these billing inconsistencies are costing your company money.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><strong>&#8211; Utility Company Errors: </strong>As with telecom, cable and internet, utility bills can also reflect a number of errors. For Example, many electric and water meters are still read visually and a single wrong digit can send power, water and sewer bills skyrocketing. And worse those who are mistakenly charged are usually forced to pay the high bill to avoid being shut off. In some cases, even when the utility company admits fault, it will only issue a future “credit”, and not refund the overcharge.</li>
</ul>
<p>The best way to avoid vendor billing errors and overcharges is for commercial customers and businesses, to monitor their usage history and billing statement every month. When high rates or suspicious charges appear, the vendor/service provider should be contacted and an attempt made to resolve it.</p>
<p>For questions about your invoices and possible errors including information about our Vendor Management Solution contact <strong>LIMITLESS</strong> at <strong>866-504-4050.</strong></p>

A vendor expense management solution captures, interprets, validates, and resolves billing issues, helping companies avoid the pitfalls of not only overpaying but wasting time looking for these errors. Validate you are paying only for what you have contracted!
]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>With the many moving and complicated parts associated with vendor and supplier expenses, often triggered by manual keystrokes it is not uncommon to have multiple errors due to inaccurate entries and discounts, missing credits, as well as duplicate or incorrect charges, misappropriated fees and taxes appearing<b> REPEATEDLY </b>monthly.</h4>
<p><a href="http://limitlesstechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/contracts-1-1.png"><img decoding="async" loading="lazy" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10118" src="http://limitlesstechnology.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/contracts-1-1.png" alt="" width="1024" height="258" /></a></p>
<ul>
<li>What are these errors costing your organization monthly? yearly?</li>
<li>What processes do you feel would improve your role in managing vendors, billing and expenses?</li>

</ul>

<p>Every organization no matter size or industry has a multitude of vendors and suppliers keeping their shelves stocked for sales or supplies for use, equipment and technology services running or materials on hand. Historically and in some cases currently, managing this relationship between vendor and your company meant spreadsheets, binders and filing cabinets (manual processes). Advancements in technology has brought some extended efficiency with cloud storage and online filing processes. But businesses still STRUGGLE with a multitude of issues from finding documents and managing the numerous related collateral pieces associated with each account AND accessing them in any way to formulate <strong>analytics</strong> and <strong>performance data</strong> is near to <strong>impossible not to mention time consuming.</strong></p>
<p><strong>By 2021, 70% of global enterprises will expand primary measures of ROI for vendor management beyond just cost savings and toward risk mitigation and performance improvement.</strong></p>
<p>Data collection, aggregation and analytics will become an <strong>essential activity</strong> requiring dedicated and skilled resources. These resources will need to be able to not only collect, investigate and present data, but also <strong>identify trends</strong> that provide insight into the<strong> impact and business value of vendor management activities</strong>.

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="js_u" class="_5pbx userContent" data-ft="{&quot;tn&quot;:&quot;K&quot;}">
<p>The Cottages contracted with <strong>Limitless Technology</strong> to audit telephone, cable television, and internet expenses, and to renegotiate and renew most of those contracts. Initially, I was hesitant and skeptical. I didn’t believe there was any money to be recovered, and I didn’t anticipate that there was much savings to be had. Limitless Technology finally convinced me that I had nothing to lose and that the time required from me was minimal so I finally caved and signed. <strong>My only regret is that I didn’t do it sooner.</strong></p>
<p>Once the contract was in place, Limitless Technology immediately started gathering information on our accounts. Even though I had been assured that very little time and “digging” would be required of me, I was honestly surprised at <strong>how little it actually turned out to be</strong>. Their promise was accurate!</p>
<p>A short time later, they started sending me reports about how much money they would be able to recover for us where we had been over-billed and overpaid cable television bills. The Cottages really pays attention to our contracts and invoices, so this certainly surprised me. But I was <strong>quickly credited over $14,000</strong> from Comcast for just that one thing. And then they went to work on contract renewals.</p>
<p>The cell phone contract was quick and easy. I was unwilling to change providers and <strong>Limitless Technology</strong> was perfectly willing to work within that requirement from me. They dug into our services though, and our plan, and before my next billing cycle, they had <strong>cut that bill by almost $1,000 per month</strong> without losing any features in our calling plan. Once again, I was really surprised, but starting to realize that they were very realistic when they told me<strong> I had nothing to lose and so much to gain.</strong></p>
<p>While the credit recovery and savings on the phone bills were so worthwhile, the best part for me came with the <strong>cable television contract renewals</strong>. We had contracts in place with three different cable television providers, and every one of them had terms in place that were basically holding us hostage to those companies. And while we do get good service from them, I want fair prices and fair terms too. <strong>Limitless Technology</strong> renegotiated every one of those, gaining us better prices, but more importantly, better terms. The best thing on those in my opinion was their ability to <strong>minimize their allowed increases</strong>. So far, we are realizing a savings of <strong>$800 a month on cable television</strong>, and will have even more monthly savings on that as soon as Charter Communications finalizes two more contracts.</p>
<p>All told, we have <strong>saved over $37,000 in a year</strong> since contracting with <strong>Limitless Technology</strong>, which is <strong>17.21%</strong> of our <strong>annual spend on telephone, cable tv, and internet</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Limitless Technology </strong>has been truly great to work with. I went from being their biggest skeptic to their biggest fan. I greatly encourage everyone to give it a shot and I know you’ll be pleased. Don’t hesitate like I did &#8211; that was just a waste of money that I could have started saving much sooner.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[The best companies outperform because their strategies are clear, differentiated and well-articulated. Their organizational structures support key capabilities and have efficient decision making and talent in the right places. Most importantly, their culture of cost management extends to the front line.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Maintaining your costs under control is what sustains the survival of companies in competitive markets. In many cases there are companies still using manual processes. These manual processes require large amounts of rework due to human error, wasted time, reports with unreliable data, an excess of printing costs and in some industries even large quantities of wasted raw materials in the production process. Business automation uses strategic and operational management software (systems) which, along with contributing to #costreductions, should improve the overall performance of any size business in any industry.</p>
<p>The best companies outperform because their strategies are clear, differentiated and well-articulated. Their organizational structures support key capabilities and have efficient decision making and talent in the right places. <strong>Most importantly, their culture of cost management extends to the front line.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Putting these 6 tips into practice can increase your company’s competitive edge, leading to sustained growth.</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong> Build a culture with employees that embrace automation.</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Employees are often reluctant to embrace automation because they&#8217;re concerned they&#8217;ll automate themselves out of a job. Yet in most businesses, the highest performers tend to automate the most, whether formally or informally. When you talk about automation, talk about the benefits to employees, both in their current functions and in how it will allow them to grow into higher-level positions.</p>
<ol start="2">
<li><strong> Hire a Programmer</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>It’s important for business owners to stay on top of their accounts receivable, and one of the best ways to do that is to invoice early and often. But filling out and sending an invoice every time a customer makes a purchase can consume a lot of time. A programmer can automate and customize invoicing and reporting to meet your needs, which means invoices and reports go out on time, every time.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li><strong> Create a Faster Response Time</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Setting up an automatic process for leads will not only increase the customer experience but also allow for faster response times. Automate your incoming inquiries to directly drop into your CRM (example: Salesforce) and assign a representative immediately, so they can be alerted right away and create a faster response time.</p>
<ol start="4">
<li><strong> Provide Contracts Digitally</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Contracts provided digitally to your existing and future clients makes the execution of contracts traceable for both parties, shows the history of changes, and limits cumbersome processes like scanning/emailing or even faxing completed contracts back and forth to one another.</p>
<ol start="5">
<li><strong> Automate Finances and Marketing with Digital Tools</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>There are dozens of online systems and software programs that have automated business functions. Accounting, website hosting, marketing communications, payroll and more have all benefited from programs and services that make it easier to manage business.</p>
<p>Making payroll is more than just cutting checks to your employees once a week. It involves filing the correct payroll forms with the IRS, calculating the right amount of taxes due, and paying those taxes on time. Payroll takes a great deal of time and if you make mistakes, you could pay heavily for them in the form of fines and penalties. There are so many options for businesses to automate payroll, time tracking, financial processes, and provide business analysis. Automating financing where possible allows your organization to focus on other, more time-consuming tasks.</p>
<ol start="6">
<li><strong> Inventory Management</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Managing your inventory can take up a lot of time if you do it manually. After all, you have to enter the information for each product, keep track of its location, delete it when it sells, and predict when you need to reorder it. But when you use an inventory management system, it will automatically keep track of your products’ location and availability — and it will automatically calculate how much product you need to reorder and when. You will be able to scan bar codes instead of typing in product information by hand, and if you need to retrieve information about a specific lot number, most inventory management systems allow you to do so easily.</p>
<p>You should always be looking for ways to make your business more efficient- automating processes can do just that. By tightening up your processes and procedures, you can reduce waste (both materials and time) and therefore, decrease costs. Empower your employees to look for inefficiencies and identify ways to save time and money.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>“<em>We started the engagement with skepticism about the potential savings and ended the engagement astounded at how much money we had been wasting</em>”. <strong>Executive Vice President, Heath Care Management Company</strong>. “We didn’t know what we didn’t know until we brought in LT-CRS who understood these services far better than our internal staff and who could devote the dedicated and focused resources to such a project. The results were impressive”.</p>
<p>“The service covered virtually every facet of our telecom usage and cost spectrum, including, local and long distance land lines, conference calling, cell phones, and broad band services and phone systems and internal telecom management&#8221;.</p>

We had the sense that we had a bit of a mess on our hands but didn’t quite know where to start to sort out our telecom usage and expense management”.</p>
<p>“We saved <strong>approximately $900,000 or 25% of our total telecom spending of $3.6 million</strong>. Limitless was professional, efficient and minimally disruptive to our staff. We’d highly recommend them to any company that spends significant dollars on telecom services”.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 class="sub-head">T-Mobile, AT&amp;T, Verizon and Sprint are making changes &#8230;</h2>
<p>If you have a smartphone with a data plan, you’ve likely gotten that dreaded text alert warning you about reaching your monthly gigabyte limit. When this happens, your data slows to a trickle unless you pay an overage fee.</p>
<p>Even with the best cell phone plan, many of us exceed our data limit. A 2015 Pew Research Center survey found that 37% of smartphone owners use their maximum amount of monthly data at least occasionally, while 15% do so frequently. Those who did go over during one month or more in a year collectively paid their carriers at least an additional $600 million, according to an analysis by NerdWallet and smartphone app My Data Manager, which helps users keep track of their data consumption.</p>
<h3>Carriers making changes</h3>
<p>Consumers don’t like paying for their data overages, and wireless carriers are listening. In 2014 and 2015, respectively, T-Mobile and Sprint began offering unlimited plans that cut overage fees in favor of slower 2G data once the caps are reached. Over the summer, Verizon and AT&amp;T, the nation’s two top carriers by number of customers, also rolled out plans that trade overage fees for slower data speeds, known as throttling.</p>
<p>If you have a so-called legacy plan, meaning you haven’t switched to one of the new plans, it’s likely you’re still subject to overage fees at the two top carriers. But the study, using data from <a href="http://www.mydatamanagerapp.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">My </a>Data Manager, found that for the majority of consumers, switching to the new, usually larger data plan isn’t worth it. You’ll typically pay more in higher monthly charges than you would have paid for the occasional overage fee.</p>
<p>To determine this, NerdWallet and My Data Manager looked at the cost of legacy family and individual plans through Verizon and AT&amp;T, and compared them with the new plans. We assumed an average usage of 1.8GB per month for an individual plan and 4.3GB per month for a family plan with an average of 2.4 lines, based on data obtained from My Data Manager. The full methodology can be seen below. Here’s what we found.</p>
<h3>The new Verizon and AT&amp;T plans</h3>
<p>Verizon and AT&amp;T previously charged overage fees at an average rate of $15 per GB, regardless of the plan. Now, if you activate the “safety mode” in your account preferences for the Verizon Plan, you can avoid data overage fees. After you reach your monthly gigabyte limit, which varies depending on the version of the plan you choose, your data is throttled to 2G speeds instead of getting hit with an overage fee. It’s worth noting this plan allows you to carry over any unused data to the following month only.</p>
<p>AT&amp;T has taken an approach that’s similar to T-Mobile and Sprint with its new Mobile Share Advantage plans. In the event of a data overage, AT&amp;T throttles data to 2G speeds until the next billing cycle, regardless of your plan. It’s automatic, so you don’t have to do anything to avoid overage fees.</p>
<h3>When does it pay to switch to the new plans?</h3>
<p>If you’re on an average-sized plan and your data overages exceed 8GB per year, choosing one of the new plans will save you money, according to NerdWallet and My Data Manager’s analysis. The individual Verizon Plan will save you money if you have an average plan, even if you never go over your data limit. Otherwise, the new Verizon plans and AT&amp;T’s Mobile Share Advantage plans won’t save you money. In fact, most consumers on legacy plans would be better off sticking to them and paying the occasional overage fee.</p>
<p>Here’s how it breaks down:</p>
<h4>Verizon Individual plans</h4>
<p>For Verizon individual plan holders who use an average of 1.8GB per month, the Verizon Plan is a better deal. Assuming you were on a legacy 3GB data plan before, you can step down to a 2GB plan, which saves $10 per month over the old pricing. Previously, Verizon only offered 1GB and 3GB options. Activate the safety mode, and presto, no more overage fees — though, if you do go over the data limit, the 2G mode is awfully slow. We’ll discuss that in a moment.</p>
<p>AT&amp;T individual plan holders face a different set of options. For those who exceed their data limit four times or fewer during the year, it’s actually cheaper to pay the overage fees than it is to switch plans, based on the average usage figures we found. This is because consumers who use that average 1.8GB per month and were previously on a 2GB plan would now have to upgrade to a 3GB plan under Mobile Share Advantage — meaning they’d have to pay for an extra 1.2GB that they might not need. (AT&amp;T’s new plans have only 1GB, 3GB or higher options.) And there’s automatic throttling once the data limits are exceeded.</p>
<h3>Watch out for throttling</h3>
<p>Keep in mind that, for consumers used to 4G LTE data, throttled 2G speed could be problematic, especially for the 10% of Americans for whom their smartphone is their only access to the internet. When you’re using your phone for everything from job applications to paying bills, 2G is very slow. By comparison, browsing 30 webpages would take 2.8 minutes at 2G speed, while doing the same at 4G LTE takes only one second, according to Verizon.</p>
<p>If you’re not sure how much data you’re using, you can analyze your usage with My Data Manager or one of the other apps available, and then evaluate your needs to make sure you have the <a href="https://www.nerdwallet.com/utilities/cell-phone-plans">best cell phone plan for you</a>.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[If you’re looking to set yourself apart from the rest of the pack, and improve profitability and productivity in your enterprise, it’s imperative that you focus on a comprehensive spend management strategy that includes every aspect of your overall spend, with a goal of achieving 100% managed spend.]]></description>
										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Taking Control</h3>
<p>If you are serious about reducing risk and building a sustainable business then it pays to look for ways to take control of your fixed spend. Those people in your company who are responsible for ensuring expenses are effectively reviewed and bills are paid in full are in fact correct without question meaning no harm, of course; but without minimal oversight, they could potentially do a lot of harm!</p>
<h3>The demands on today’s Chief Procurement Officers (CPOs) continue to escalate and the expectation of doing more with less is a constant, regardless of industry or customer base.</h3>
<p>Deloitte’s Global CPO Survey for 2016 revealed a wealth of information about – and for – today’s CPOs, but one statistic that really stood out was the claim that 74% of CPOs see cost reduction as their number one priority. A study by PwC also found that approximately 50% of CEOs see cost reduction as a key strategic driver this year, too.</p>
<p>But this doesn’t seem to match the actions of many enterprises. There are still a substantial number of organizations lacking a comprehensive spend management strategy, indicating that their commitment to cost reduction is inefficient, sporadic or non-existent, regardless of what the executives say.</p>
<p>As much as 20% of an organization’s overall spend is unmanaged. So for an organization with an overall annual spend of $3 billion, some $600 million of this spend is uncontrolled and unregulated.</p>
<p>If C-Level Executives alike continue to allow such a vast amount of spend to be allocated with little or no oversight and control, how will they <em>really</em> be able to reduce costs and achieve savings? And how can cost reduction <em>really</em> be a top priority if this unmanaged spending is being allowed to continue?</p>
<h3>Combating the Cost Reduction Paradox</h3>
<p>If you’re looking to set yourself apart from the rest of the pack, and <strong>improve profitability and productivity</strong> in your enterprise, it’s imperative that you focus on a comprehensive spend management strategy that includes every aspect of your overall spend, with a goal of achieving 100% managed spend. It’s not just a procurement pipedream – it can be realized by working with the right team and the right tools, and effectively measuring your systems and progress.</p>
<p>Where to Start &#8230;</p>
<h3>Spend Analysis</h3>
<p>Every spend management program has to have a starting point, and a thorough spend analysis program will enable you to measure where you are today, as well as mark your progress as you implement your spend management program. A spend analysis enables you to share your success with the rest of the organization, and is an important part of creating an effective environment that you can duplicate as needed.</p>
