World Class Procurement
Strategic Sourcing
Leading organizations boldly position procurement as an ongoing critical driver of enterprise value as
it is often the biggest cost item, in some industries accounting for as much as 80% of total costs. And it
is often one of the first areas companies target when they want to generate cost savings—with good
reason.
By taking a Strategic Sourcing approach to what they buy and how they buy it, leading companies have
achieved substantial cost savings. Depending on the industry we have seen initial savings of 8% to 12%
in the first 18 months of a serious effort, followed by a trained organization reaping 3% to 4% savings
each year.
AscentNet™ avoid standardized solutions. Our six-steps Strategic Sourcing Implementation proposal is
flexible at its core. It is an Integrated Framework and a Structured Approach rather a “One-Size-Fits-to-
All” solution. We configure solutions to suit your specific goals, ranging from multi-year programs to
achieve specific savings targets, to short-term, category-specific engagements where you want to shore
up in-house expertise.
We know how to transform Procurement strategies and capabilities while minimizing transition risks
and driving sustained adoption of new approaches. And, we know it’s about results, not just ideas, so
we don’t stop until we know the solution is implemented and working.
