HCMWorks, Inc. a leading provider of Indirect Services Procurement Solutions, announced the commission of a survey of North American Procurement Professionals to gain insight into the Indirect Service Procurement market. A primary goal was to see if the trend towards better management of indirect services was still emerging as a strong growth area within corporations.
Ottawa, ON (PRWEB) February 1, 2010 -- HCMWorks, Inc. a leading provider of Indirect Services Procurement Solutions, announced the commission of a survey of North American Procurement Professionals. HCMWorks retained the services of an independent marketing communications company, Integrated MARCOM, to conduct the survey during the fourth quarter of 2009.
In order to gain insight into the Indirect Service Procurement market, the survey targeted executives at the manager level and above within the Procurement/Strategic Sourcing department of companies with over $1 Billion in total revenue. Almost 100 people from the United States and Canada responded.
Tara Lamboley of Integrated MARCOM was pleased to get such an enthusiastic response from the survey. “We believe this response demonstrates that the topic of indirect expenditures is one that is becoming more relevant to large organizations.”
“Even though we’re beginning to see signs of a recovery, companies will continue to be focused on ways to reduce operational expenditures. We’ve noticed the trend over the past few years towards better management of indirect services”, said Ted Weyn, Managing Partner for HCMWorks. “I believe the survey will illustrate that trend and provide additional insight into how procurement is perceived within large organizations.”
Steven Winokur, President of Turning Point Strategies, a brand consultancy, believes Weyn is accurate in his statement. “There is a lot of noise in the consulting space from firms offering to help lower costs. But it’s not so simple with indirect expenditures. Often, those services include functions that are vital to the operations of a company and therefore demand a greater sophistication than direct commodities. HCMWorks understands the business reality and focuses on increasing visibility into indirect expenditures so an appropriate strategy can then be developed.”
The findings of the survey will be available as a report in February 2010. To request a copy, please visit http://www.hcmworks.com/contact.
