Strategic Sourcing Guide to Personal Digital Assistants Procurement

Overview

A changing ecosystem within the Telecoms market also affects the procurement process, cost dynamics and supplier attractiveness for the buyers of Personal Digital Assistants. New locations and vendors are emerging as cost effective suppliers of Personal Digital Assistants, offering an opportunity to widen the supplier base and gain further negotiation leverage with incumbent suppliers.

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.

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

Personal Digital Assistants Procurement Best Practices

The report discusses in detail the best practices that have served well the category managers responsible for Personal Digital Assistants procurement.

For example, Transferring to a new supplier can be often costly and can further get exacerbated by instances of vendor lock-ins. Buyers must scrutinize the offerings of service providers for any possibilities of vendor lock-ins and demand client testimonials from service providers to assess such possibilities. Watch out for products/services that are priced excessively low, as they can often result in costly lock-ins.

Adequate RFP response time should be built in for prospective suppliers to enable them understand the scope and usage patterns properly.

Needs of buyers can vary depending on the industry where buyers operate. For instance, buyers from the financial services industry give high importance to regulatory compliance and data security, whereas buyers from the e-commerce industry prioritize high throughput, low response time, and high scalability. Hence, service providers with a strong knowledge of the security, compliance, and governance needs of buyers' industries and a proven track record of performance with respect to these aspects should be prioritized.

  • Suppliers may face a situation where they are unable to honor a contract in its entirety due to shortage of resources, finances or capabilities.
