Get together with suppliers

Mpro - For Public Sector

Market Overview

The Challenge

How can government agencies drive through efficiency savings and value for money across multiple and autonomous locations?

The Symptoms

• Poor leveraging of consolidated spend with suppliers
• Lack of control and visibility of expenditure or goods received
• Manually intensive transactional processes
• Poor supply relationships due to late payments

The Mpro Solution

Driving through efficiencies in the public sectorThe Confederation of British Industry has warned that a radical overhaul of procurement is needed to achieve Gordon Brown's £21.5 billion of efficiency savings. In addition, the Gershon Report states a requirement to provide a greater level of detail over government spending to generate these savings. Without enhanced visibility and control, these target savings will not be realised.

How do government agencies generate efficiencies?With greater visibility of transactional spend with suppliers, government agencies can leverage data on a regional or national basis to achieve the best value. Meanwhile, enforcing compliance to negotiated contracts will eliminate rogue spend and drive continuous savings. The Mpro suite helps public-sector customers reduce costs and sustain efficiencies by removing manual inefficiencies (such as manual matching in accounts payable) and improving visibility and control of all transactions.

The Results

• Low-risk delivery of results, not technology - with on demand service that requires no up-front investment in software or hardware.
• Greater control and visibility over 100% of spend - cutting the cost of purchases by 10% to 15% and putting savings on the bottom line.
• Elimination of off-contract buying - ensuring adherence to contract pricing, saving as much as 12% of total annual expenditure.
• Adoption of attractive pay-as-you-go commercial model - no up-front IT infrastructure costs.
• Minimal impact on scarce resources.
• Option for interim solution that does not impact overall strategy.
