GET FREE SAMPLEVideo Games is an essential part of the Learning and Development Materials category which includes all spend related to the provision of materials used for education and training, but excluding computers and publications provided to staff through a subscription. The category also covers spend related to storage and retreival of learning and development materials.
Several macro changes in the dynamics of overall Learning and Development Materials as well as Video Games procurement trends are poised to change the business practices and procurement thumb rules. Buyers are moving towards longer contract durations with suppliers of Video Games to benefit from value-based discounts, integrated products and services, lower renewal cost and lesser expenses on contracting activities. Suppliers are disrupting traditional business models with new offerings and terms. These disruptions are also necessitating buyers to relook their procurement practices and standards with respect to supplier selection and price benchmarking activities. The global industry has seen a gradual increase in labor cost due to several factors, such as shortage of a trained workforce, increase in minimum wages, regulations around employee benefits and declining appeal for what have been traditionally called unskilled jobs. As the employee expenses increase, suppliers are compelled to pass some of this increase to their buyers by charging higher prices. Category managers need to take note of the potential of these developments and reassess the changes required in their procurement practices.
The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Video Games procurement. For example, Strong R&D focus is the sign of a supplier committed to enhancing the quality and cost proposition of its solutions. Buyers should collaborate with such suppliers for development of low-cost but highly efficiency products that can bring their OPEX down. Suppliers that have an in-house maintenance and support team should be preferred. This will ensure that maintenance and aftersales support will be provided to the buyer at reduced rates by service providers. Buyers need to evaluate the in-depth expertise of suppliers in the Video Games industry. This can be assessed by considering factors such as the years of experience, number of resources that have multi-year experience of working in the same industry and at least 3 to 5 credentials for the supplier.
