Aberdeen – Capgemini Study Finds Companies Using BPO Procurement as a Growth Enabler

Companies that are outsourcing procurement work are lowering costs and easing the workload in their organization, according to a new Aberdeen benchmark report, ‘The Procurement Outsourcing Benchmark Report’, sponsored by Capgemini.

20 June 2006

The survey examines the reasons companies outsource procurement and the benefits they receive. In addition, the survey reveals the reasons many companies are not outsourcing procurement; chief among these is a perceived loss of control. The Aberdeen survey also found that - at least among companies that are already outsourcing some of their procurement work - more functions and processes will be outsourced over the next 12 months.

BPO Procurement is a powerful tool for many companies who are trying to focus their efforts on strategic initiatives, increase their flexibility and aggressively deliver savings. The findings of Aberdeen’s research confirm these benefits as well as the ability to use outsourcing in a pointed manner to avoid disruption and provide a platform for further expansion.

Capgemini works with clients to understand their goals and how they can leverage prior process and technology investments into an intelligent strategy that includes BPO Procurement.  Capgemini’s team is currently delivering BPO Procurement to several clients as part of multi year partnerships.
