This webinar outlines how Sourcing & Vendor Management (SVM) executives can implement Forrester's strategic software sourcing model. Our research has shown that transactional procurement is ineffective in today's software market, with major technology trends such as big data, cloud, and mobile changing the way we choose and use software. IT colleagues and business users exclude sourcing professionals from their decision processes and ignore commercial criteria when picking suppliers. Yet they expect you to negotiate great deals, despite having little leverage with powerful technology giants, who expect more revenue than enterprises can afford to provide.
This webinar introduces Forrester's strategic software sourcing playbook, which explains how to reduce reactive transactional battles using a more strategic approach that will help you improve supplier relationships and get more value for your software expenditure.
