Supply & Demand Chain Executive, Forrester & ProcureStaff Present Webinar with Answers
New York, NY
September 15, 2008
Large companies, continuing to seek ways to automate and streamline supply chains, are looking closely at solutions to manage their procurement of human capital. Human capital is among the last spend categories to enjoy widespread adoption of specialized models for electronic procurement. As the focus on human capital supply chain management has grown in the last decade, many solution providers have entered the market. Determining which providers are truly qualified to support this complex business niche can be a challenge for procurement and human resources leaders. Executive Vice President of ProcureStaff, Janet Whitcomb, joined by Forrester's Andrew Bartels will present a thought-provoking webinar that will provide attendees with the right questions to ask of a prospective service provider. Hosted by Supply & Demand Chain Executive magazine, Whitcomb will discuss how to uncover the shortcomings of many human capital management solutions before engaging a provider for a long-term contract.
"Being able to utilize a spreadsheet does not automatically qualify one to act in the capacity of Chief Financial Officer. Similarly, a human capital procurement program requires the support of people with extensive subject matter expertise to drive successful decision making processes", says Janet Whitcomb of ProcureStaff adding, "VMS technology by itself is merely a tool. The level of expertise among the professionals supporting a solution correlates directly to the quality of results procurement software will yield. That's why it is imperative to develop a clear understanding of the depth and breadth of a human capital solution provider's service offering."
The webinar will be delivered live on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 at 2:00 pm EDT. Free registration is available at the Supply & Demand Chain Executive website.
