E-procurement may have been over-hyped in the early days of the dotcom boom, but leading enterprises are now leveraging e-procurement to improve contract compliance, reduce material and process costs, and increase spend under management.

The Supply Management 2.0 series provides a unique forum for senior executives to exchange practical approaches to speed and sustain supply management results.
