ProcureCon IT Europe, produced by the same people who organize the successful ProcureCon Indirect series of events, untangles the complex issues surrounding sourcing and managing information technology.
When talking to procurement practitioners about the most complex category under management, many times, “IT” is the answer. Not only is IT one of the largest categories of indirect spend, it also permeates across all other indirect categories. Adding to the complexity is that while CIOs and IT Managers would prefer to just do their job, and not have to worry about winning bids, they are still reluctant to give up control to non-IT people. Throw complicated licensing models into the mix, and IT sourcing can easily become a headache.
ProcureCon IT Europe will give a clear picture on how to better position your company’s IT procurement team for success. From software licensing and contracting, to protecting your data in the cloud to managing mobility and telecom services, you will receive best practice strategies for strengthening relationships with suppliers, managing contracts, and forecasting IT sourcing trends in this complex, large-spend category. The intimate and hands-on event format will give you ample time to make new connections and strengthen prior relationships with your peers across a variety of industries.
