Strategic Sourcing Guide to Programming Services Procurement

Overview

A changing ecosystem within the Support market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Programming Services. The cut-throat competition in the category is compelling suppliers to go aggressive on their pricing structure and increase their spend on sales and marketing activities. As a result, most suppliers are feeling a pressure on their margins and trying to offer higher margin value added services to have a better control on their profitability.

Buyers are showing an inclination to onboard suppliers whose offerings span beyond Programming Services. The practice brings in several advantages such as rationalization of supplier base, economies of scale and reduced category management cost.

Global market is facing a shortage of professionals with requisite skills and training. Minimum wages and stringent regulations are compelling suppliers to increase their employee expenses which are expected to have an inflationary impact on buyer's procurement cost.

For example, It is important for category managers to track and measure the performance of suppliers against a defined set of KPIs that are agreed upon by both parties.
