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
