abstract:Procurement software is business software that helps to automate the purchasing function of organizations. Activities including raising and approving purchase orders, selecting and ordering the product or service, receiving and matching the invoice and order, and paying the bill is handled electronically, enabling the procurement department to see everything that is ordered, ensure that nothing can be ordered without correct approvals, and lets them get the best value by combining several orders for the same type of good or even getting suppliers to bid for the business.
Last week, Jeremiah Owyang released an Altimeter Group report reinforcing proliferation risks, offering ways to address problems through more informed social softwareprocurement, planning and implementation.
In addition, agencies will notify JFMIP that a core financial management softwareprocurement is planned - - preferably prior to, or in the early phases of, acquisition planning.
