Managing the organisational interface
Managing the org interface is essentially the systematic control and manipulation of all communications that support a process. It is critical that interactions between people be managed and carefully coordinated to avoid incidents resulting from misunderstandings and lack of information. How many times have you worked tirelessly for months to build a relationship only to see it destroyed by someone who wasn’t kept in the loop or conditioned to behave in the manner consistent with the expectation?

Modern e-Catalogues, Value for both Buyers and Suppliers”
Electronic catalogues have undergone a substantial revolution over the past decade and are no longer relegated to simple approved product lists, sitting in Excel or a dusty corner of the ERP. Quadrem will discuss strategies where e-catalogues are:
· Making it easy to find and purchase an approved product or service
· Dramatically reducing P to P cycle time
· Ensuring negotiated T’s and C’s are used as a matter of prioriety and
· Invoice miss-match is significantly redued lowering Accounts Payable Error rate and processing costs
