In light of the Sir Philip Green review of government spending which highlighted some “crazy” decisions on IT spending, University of the West England Professor Andrew Douglas’ eWorld presentation on the utilization of E-Sourcing Tools seems timely.

State of the Nation: Drivers & Inhibitors for the Uptake of e-Sourcing Tools – The CIPS I-source Project (Keynote 5) (Click to Access Audio)

Session Overview:

Early adopters were starting to use e-sourcing tools about 10 years ago. In 2004, CIPS and the University of the West of England conducted a comprehensive research project called I-Adapt, examining the after-effects of using e-auctions on the Buyer-Supplier relationship. Five years on, another investigation aimed to assess the extent to which e-sourcing tools have been adopted in both the public and private sector. The findings provide a fascinating insight into the key enablers that support adoption and the key inhibitors that prevent it.
