TL;DR: The procurement analytics landscape developed in this research suggests that the authors will continue to see major shifts in the sourcing and supply chain technology environment in the next five years and detailed implementation strategies of emerging procurement technologies are suggested, contributing to the existing body of the literature and industry reports.
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to elucidate the emerging landscape of procurement analytics. This paper focuses on the following questions: what are the current and future state of procurement analytics?; what changes in the procurement process will be required to enable integration of analytical solutions?; and what future areas of research arise when considering the future state of procurement analytics?,This paper employs a qualitative approach that relies on three sources of information: executive interviews, a review of current and emerging technology platforms and a small survey of subject matter experts in the field.,The procurement analytics landscape developed in this research suggests that the authors will continue to see major shifts in the sourcing and supply chain technology environment in the next five years. However, there currently exists a low usage of advanced procurement analytics, and data integrity and quality issues are preventing significant advances in analytics. This study identifies the need for organizations to establish a coherent approach to collection and storage of trusted organizational data that build on internal sources of spend analysis and contract databases. In addition, current ad hoc approaches to capturing unstructured data must be replaced by a systematic data governance strategy. An important element for organizations in this evolution is managing change and the need to nourish an analytic culture.,While the majority of forward-looking research and reports merely project broad technological impact of cognitive analytics and big data, much of it does not provide specific insights into functional impacts such as the impact on procurement. The analysis of this study provides us with a clear view of the potential for business analytics and cognitive analytics to be employed in procurement processes, and contributes to development of related research topics for future study. In addition, this study suggests detailed implementation strategies of emerging procurement technologies, contributing to the existing body of the literature and industry reports.

TL;DR: In this article, a method for tracking spend includes receiving a plurality of accounts payable items, each accounts payable item being associated with one of the general ledger codes, and information regarding a proper correlation of the spend items within the plurality of purchasing categories is received from the user.
Abstract: A method for tracking spend includes receiving a plurality of accounts payable items, each accounts payable item being associated with one of a plurality of general ledger codes. More than one of the plurality of general ledger codes are associated with an associated one of a plurality of purchasing categories. At least one of the plurality of general ledger codes which does not include an associated one of the plurality of purchasing categories is identified. Unallocated spend items associated with the at least one of the general ledger codes are displayed to a user. In accordance with one embodiment, information regarding a proper correlation of the spend items within the plurality of purchasing categories is received from the user.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the need for companies to have a sound supply-strategies in place before committing to any E-PROCUREMENT TOOL or TECHNIQUE, and that companies need to ensure that they have a SOUND SUPPLY STRATEGY in place.
Abstract: SUBTITLE: BEFORE COMMITTING TO ANY E-PROCUREMENT TOOL OR TECHNIQUE, COMPANIES NEED TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE A SOUND SUPPLY STRATEGY IN PLACE. AND THAT MEANS CONDUCTING A THOROUGH SPEND ANALYSIS, A SEGMENTATION OF THAT SPEND AND AN INFRASTRUCTURE ASSESSMENT. ONLY WHEN THOSE ACTIVITIES ARE COMPLETED CAN THEY SELECT THE E-PROCUREMENT OPTIONS THAT MAKE THE MOST BUSINESS SENSE -- AND BEGIN INTEGRATING THOSE OPTIONS INTO THEIR OPERATIONS.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored whether and how knowledge-based services can be sourced more efficiently by examining best practices and precepts from knowledge management theory and found that potential is available from demand reduction strategies, and that public policy governing the procurement of knowledge is needed.
Abstract: Knowledge-based services (KBS) comprise a major portion of services acquired by public organizations. However, their procurement is not well managed; consequently, inefficiencies abound. Therefore, this study explores whether and how KBS can be sourced more efficiently by examining best practices and precepts from knowledge management theory. A spend analysis of one agencyʼs spend is used to identify the types of KBS procured. Interviews from 12 cases are then used to identify best practices and cost drivers in sourcing KBS. Twenty one recommendations for improving efficiency in sourcing KBS are offered. The findings suggest that potential is available from demand reduction strategies, and that public policy governing the procurement of knowledge is needed. The research concludes with theoretical implications and suggestions for future research.
