Procurement BPO: Services Overview

According to Accenture research, Outsourcing and Procurement Mastery, there are strong links between procurement mastery and procurement BPO: Procurement masters achieved savings that are 30 percent higher than low performers—despite running procurement organizations that cost half as much to operate. Procurement masters show a significantly greater take-up of BPO than their less successful competitors.

Accenture is taking the relationship one step further with its next-generation procurement BPO that leverages analytics, innovation, industry process knowledge and innovative technology to deliver deeper business outcomes. Our approach also takes a flexible, modular approach to sourcing and category management.
