I recently reviewed a well written document, Spend Visibility: An Implementation Guide, and I highly recommend this as a good resource for our readers.  This content was jointly authored by Dr. Michael Lamoureux, Editor of the Sourcing Innovation blog, and Bernard Gunther, the head of Lexington Analytics, both of whom all well experienced on the subject matter.

This guide is very comprehensive and will provide valuable information to both procurement functional and IT implementation focused  readers. The guide not only outlines all of the various aspects of procurement spend analysis but also provides detailed perspectives on the methods involved in insuring a successful implementation of procurement spend analysis.  Readers will also benefit from a comprehensive outline of best practices, tactical traps to look out for, and important assessment criteria relative to selecting the correct technology.

As a bonus, Michael has eliminated any user registration information gates and readers can download the guide at the following web link.

Enjoy.
