Procurement plays a critical role in mergers to streamline supply chains and elevate the best procurement practices of both companies. This means careful vetting of various products, processes, and vendors for the sake of efficiency, eliminating redundancy, and mitigating risk. This workshop will discuss practical and innovative ways to set your new company up for success by: 

• Narrowing down suppliers through intensive RFIs and RFPs to ensure they are up to the new standards 
• Using the company’s new roadmap to immediately unite suppliers and teams on new business goals and software 
• Evaluating insource v outsource options, to understand where to build support in new areas 
• Pursuing change management to ensure new practices are followed by all employees
