Strategic Sourcing Guide to Periodicals And Publications Procurement

Overview

A changing ecosystem within the Subscriptions and Admissions market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Periodicals And Publications. Suppliers are increasingly offering a 'bundle' of services which is marketed as a cost saving option. The bundled offering often includes services that are not required by the buyer or are charged at a much higher rate than an A la carte option with another supplier.

The market has undergone several structural changes including M&As and vertical integration efforts of suppliers. This has resulted in some issues such as erosion of previously established supplier relationships but has also opened new opportunities to onboard new suppliers with a wider range of offerings.

Changing workforce demographics are creating challenges in identifying the right talent mix and processes that can keep the talent pool motivated and satisfied with their work.

Risks in Periodicals And Publications procurement

  • 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 Periodicals And Publications
  • 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
  • Many service providers offer services via SaaS, mobile technology, and desktop software. If they do not remain up-to-date with the latest technologies and keep up with changing industry standards, they may not only be unable to resolve clients' problems but also lose the interest of potential clients
