Online Images Procurement Best Practices

Sometimes, procurement functions are unable to timely alter their practices while responding to market conditions. Industry experts acknowledge that periodically reviewing procurement best practices and adopting learnings from across procurement categories can help procurement teams respond to market needs in a more agile way. This report combines our experience of other categories with Online Images procurement insights and hand picks best practices that can work for category managers delving in this market.

For example, It is customary for service provider to charge buyers on a project basis. The project costs are often based on payroll costs incurred by service providers on the various levels of personnel involved in the project. In a bid to derive higher profits, service providers may allocate more senior staff than required. Therefore, buyers must scrutinize the staffing needs of the project and limit the presence of senior staff to not more than 30% of the total allocated staff. This, in turn, providers buyers' advantages such as enhanced cost savings, streamlined execution, and faster delivery time.

While engaging with a service provider, buyers should procure creative services from a tier 1 creative agency and outsource the production work to a local agency to reduce billing rates.

Buyers should ensure that service providers use digital asset management tools for storing and retrieval of digital assets such as photographs, video graphs, music, animation content. Buyers can use these tools to increase their brands consistency and optimize their workflow.

Risks in Online Images procurement

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


  • The communications services industry is a labor-intensive industry and is vulnerable to the vagaries of labor unions. If a company fails to renew agreements or solve labor disputes, it can lead to labor strikes or stoppage of work, thereby leading to delays in service delivery
  • With advancements in technology, such as file compressing, digital copying, and internet connections with high bandwidth, the risk of content piracy and signal theft has also increased. Additionally, new software that can circumvent encryption technology is increasing the threat of unauthorized use and distribution of communication content
  • 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 Online Images
