WELCOME
Hello and welcome to the very first issue of Supply Chain Digital in 2019 !
Our first superstar of the year is Fannie Mae , as we speak to Rajeev Karmacharya , Managing Director , Strategic Sourcing and Category Management on how he aligns procurement with business . As the procurement function continues to evolve into a more central strategic pillar to a number of organisations ,
the enterprise ’ s transformation journey is about one thing – customer service . “ For us , our internal business
unit stakeholders are our customers ,” he says . “ Some procurement
organisations don ’ t like to call their internal stakeholders ‘ customers ’. I think we ’ ve been very deliberate about viewing our business stakeholders as customers and really putting them at the centre of everything we do .”
Elsewhere , we speak to Cincinnati Incorporated ’ s procurement transformation , as it continues to launch innovative new products to ensure its customers receive the highest quality of product available .
We also speak with Allegis Global Solutions , and how Erin Hough , Senior Manager , North American Supply Chain , navigates the digital disruption of global talent acquisition .
Our other features explore Cranfield University and The Centre for Strategic Procurement and Supply Management , as well as looking at how Icertis looks to help companies reduce risk and ensure compliance through cloud management . We also look at the top 10 procurement outsourcing companies .
Enjoy the issue !
