Procurement Process - Value Proposition
Most organizations already have a procurement application such as a vendor product or in-house developed system. While procurement application provides the functionality to process the procurement request, it may not meet the compliance requirement of Sarbanes-Oxley for a documented narration of the IT Procurement process, visual workflow of the process, and list of output functions or templates in support of the process. The Processes On Demand IT Procurement process addresses this requirement as well as provides other useful information such as process step overviews, management guidance, available tools and resources, and process step outputs linked to work templates or the functional application for the process.
Procurement Process - Customer Testimonials
"We had a procurement process and policy. But our process was in the form of a three page Visio workflow document and our policy was in the form of a twenty five page PDF. Not all users could access the workflows and not all users would read the policy document. The Processes On Demand procurement process provided us with an intuitive, easy to use, process that required nothing more than a browser to access. Employees and supervisors now access what they need, on demand, and can see visual workflows of our policy, read process narration when needed, follow process step guidance and instructions, and use the correct forms for our process. From the initial procurement request all the way through charge-back processing, the end result is happy users and happy managers."
