Smart Sourcing is a more intelligent approach to sourcing technology which is aligned to each clients’ business needs and delivers sustainable business value.

• Specialist technology procurement skills
• Alternative technology evaluation
• Best practice adoption
• Integrated procurement processes

As a vital component in 2e2’s Technology Lifecycle Management - which helps organisations reduce the complexity associated with sourcing, operating, supporting and retiring technology – Smart Sourcing provides sustainable cost savings, best practice associated with supplier/vendor management and automated transaction processing

With organisations striving to drive greater value from their IT, many are now looking to increase the sophistication of their procurement processes to overcome shortcomings, including siloed buying decisions and the pursuit of best price at the expense of what delivers best value to the business.

The added challenge these organisations face is that the traditional channels through which they purchase technology are simply not set up to add value in the procurement phase – most simply looking to gain the best margin on a specific sale. Furthermore, many organisations are ham-strung by hidden procurement and processing costs that consume a disproportionate share of operational costs.

In addressing these challenges, 2e2 takes a partnership approach which enables clients to take advantage of the benefits and flexibility of Smart Sourcing without making additional investments in their internal infrastructure.
