Key Findings & Highlights:
Procurement BPO is a modest though increasingly important aspect of the BPS market as vendors with strong finance & accounting BPO capability increasingly extend their capabilities beyond purchase-to-pay to procure-to-pay and source-to-pay and challenge or acquire specialist procurement BPO vendors.
Nonetheless source-to-contract remains an area of immature vendor capability since it requires local and domain-specific expertise which can be hard to scale alongside the more industrialized transactional processes within much of procure-to-pay.
Despite these structural difficulties the procurement BPO market is moving beyond its origins in reducing the cost of indirect goods and services to increasingly focus on supplier relationship management, including supplier enablement and performance management.
