For business units with external needs, and procurement
How do we source externally, quickly and with good reasons?
With outside support, speed matters and the choice still has to hold. Every provider answers the same questions, procurement is involved from the start, and the project comes out of the award.
Where money and time are lost
Three situations in which external jobs cost money
Little time and still a comparison
With Quick Request the need goes to up to five providers you know. After 24, 48 or 72 hours the bids sit side by side, ready to compare.
Source externallyThe job and its benefit stay linked
The project comes out of the award with its provider and milestones. The partner's commitments are tracked in it as benefit and stay visible.
From award to projectAudit asks for the reasons
The comparison follows named criteria, the award carries its reasons, every step its person and time. In Enterprise a second person approves.
