采购部门经常引用更广泛的业务缺乏参与，作为他们无法为其组织增加更多价值的主要原因。利益相关者在不参与采购的情况下，与供应商进行工作进展和讨论，就是论证。在许多情况下，这肯定是真的，但为什么非采购同事选择采取这种方法？来自expicio的最近进行的证据表明，采购不仅在考虑这个问题，而且相信它在解决问题方面发挥作用。

Using Technology to Develop Strategic Supplier Relationships
In Efficio's recent survey — “Procurement 2025: Is digital transformation driving more effective procurement?” — around two-thirds (64%) of respondents agreed that strategic supplier relationships will become increasingly important as companies look to achieve their future objectives — yet only half (52%) have formally selected their strategic suppliers. This gap indicates that while there is consensus on the value of the strategic supplier relationship, many companies have yet to define what a strategic supplier truly looks like for their organization, much less how technology can help to develop these relationships.
确保技术投资的积极回报
A recent Efficio survey of 225 procurement leaders found that technology is driving significant activity in their organizations. Indeed, 63% of survey respondents admitted to completely rethinking their procurement approach as a result of new technologies, while 78% believe digital transformation should be a boardroom priority. Transforming processes with technology was also the single most popular procurement objective in 2018, indicating the level of focus currently on digitalization.
The same survey revealed that 82% of organizations prefer to make better use of existing technologies before investing in new ones. This implies that the benefits of technology investments made to date are yet to be fully realized and that, so far, technology is failing to meet expectations. In our view, companies can take a number of steps to ensure they get the best return from their technology investments.
