Beauty and the Beast – BI Meets Real World Purchasing – Software for purchasing departments has tended to confine itself to automation and communication. While a few Business Intelligence applications, primarily aimed at extended supply chain management and/or reverse auctions exist, they almost always require high volumes, power users and substantial financial and change management commitments. What’s brand new on the scene is operationally embedded business intelligence applications for purchasing that are lightweight, easily implemented and deliver major benefits. Learn more about how Business Intelligence for mid-sized purchasing departments is finally coming of age.

But, even if a company can afford big ticket BI, many of these tools cannot tap into or exploit business processes. Confined to high-level data analysis, they are significantly hampered in their ability to deliver on operationally useful information. In this white paper, learn how new software from ERP providers that can be embedded in the enterprise software itself may end up being more functionally adept.
