Highlights
At various points over the last 10 years, BPO industry experts have predicted an explosion of procurement outsourcing activity, but the expected boom has yet to happen. That has not deterred market-watchers from forecasting that 2009 will be the beginning of a period of rapid expansion in the procurement outsourcing market.
Procurement outsourcing does not rely on labor arbitrage to deliver cost savings. As procurement is not a labor-intensive process, vendors have to use other methods to deliver savings, including improving both internal processes and the management of supplier relationships and innovating around technology and processes.
The procurement outsourcing market has a unique competitive landscape. It is dominated by four market-leading vendors, including two outsourcing giants (IBM and Accenture) and two procurement specialists (ICG Commerce and Ariba).
