Informatica Corporation, the "business analytics" software provider, has introduced Informatica Strategic Sourcing Analytics, which it claims is the only complete analytics software package designed to help companies continually analyse their procurement spending across the enterprise – for both direct and indirect materials and services – in order to strategically reduce costs. With strategic sourcing analytics, organisations collect and analyse all aspects of their supplier data from disparate sources and leverage best-practice metrics to get an accurate overview of total spending. They can also view supplier scorecards, rank their supplier base, and guide their organisation through workflows that identify areas for cost consolidation and optimal sourcing strategies. Informatica has adopted the Supply Chain Council (SCOR) model for its strategic sourcing and supply chain analytic applications. The primary objective of SCOR is to assist practitioners in’improving their entire supply chain performance – including strategic sourcing.’For more information, please visit: http://www.informatica.com/
