Strategic Sourcing Guide to User Experience Procurement

Overview

The market for Marketing and its sub-segments such as User Experience are at an interesting intersection. Buyers are moving towards longer contract durations and strategic partnerships with suppliers to benefit from value-based discounts, integrated services, low renewal cost and lesser expenses on contracting activities.

In the broader industry, automated tools and advanced technology is making inroads and even replacing some of the non-core workforce of suppliers. As a result, overall cost structure of suppliers has become more favorable across the industry and buyers of User Experience can expect to benefit from lower costs of suppliers once they break even with their investments in technology.

Price rise in certain essential assets and supplies required to deliver User Experience is making a significant addition to the supplier's overall expenditure. This could have an inflationary impact on buyer's procurement expenditure in the User Experience market.

Trends like these and many others discussed in this report are necessitating a relook at the way User Experience is procured and the procurement cost saving opportunities that exist.

User Experience Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for User Experience procurement.

For example, Buyers should engage with service providers that provide services through an hourly based pricing model. Within an hourly based pricing model, buyers would have a fair idea of the exact time required for the work done by service provider. Consequently, billing rates will be implemented accordingly.

Buyers should engage with service providers that can consolidate multiple marketing, advertising and communications disciplines such as SEO, SEM, social media management, and traditional advertising. Such consolidation increases cost savings, convenience, and facilitates supplier performance benchmarking.

Having dedicated on-site staff from the service provider is a highly recommended measure for reducing category lead time for buyers.

Risks in User Experience procurement

User Experience procurement managers also need to proactively identify and mitigate potential risks that can arise in the supply chain or contracts for User Experience procurement. Some examples include:


  • When requirements of the buyers are not absolutely clear or usage patterns are not stable or predictable, suppliers often build in \"cost buffers\" for unforeseen risks due to a lack of complete understanding on buyer's requirements. This increases the risk of overspending on User Experience
  • Procurement without consulting the actual users of User Experience may result in a mismatch in expectations of the buyer's internal stakeholders versus the actual contract executed
  • Contract-related risks where unfavorable credit terms may severly penalize buyers for delayed payments or entitle the supplier to demand pre-payments or shorten the payment terms are not very common in the category but they do exist in certain situations where buyers' liquidity or financial health is in question
