Spend Under Management

PROACTIS uses the term 'Spend Under Management' as much more than just the traditional Procurement-only measurement (i.e. spend 'influenced' by procurement). We see it as an organisation-wide measurement of spend that is truly 'under management' from beginning to end, performed efficiently, and visible throughout. As such it is a very meaningful measurement of the results from an organisation's Spend Control efforts.

This organisation-wide view of Spend Under Management provides a practical framework for identifying, executing and monitoring performance of the activities that are key to realisation of substantial savings. In addition, it clearly identifies the role modern eProcurement systems play in enabling an organisation to create savings opportunities in the Source-to-Contract cycle, then capture those savings through an integrated Purchase-to-Pay cycle.
