A shared sourcing process turns procurement and IT from separate silos into partners in better project decisions.
What to expect
- 01
A shared workspace
For a global SAP S/4HANA implementation, KWS used common templates, evaluation criteria and communication channels to align procurement and IT.
- 02
Comparable proposals
Harmonising roles, day rates and proposal formats created a stronger basis for benchmarking and negotiations.
- 03
A broader provider shortlist
Structured supplier search helped KWS identify qualified providers outside its established network.
- 04
Collaboration beyond the tool
Transparent decisions and reusable project knowledge build trust, support compliance and help teams learn across projects. Technology alone cannot create collaboration.
