CFO Strategies for Immediate Impact and Beyond

The Role of Procurement in Driving Significant Cost Savings

Current economic conditions and a tight credit market are driving CFOs to step-up efforts to preserve cash, control spending and reduce costs. In parallel, there are increased risks associated with cash management, supplier and vendor failures, and fluctuating costs.

As the last recession taught us, many quick cures can cause longer term problems. Hopefully, we have learned the lesson that some strategies are sustainable and lead to a more efficient and competitive business, while some simply do not, but rather present increased risks.

You are invited to join a panel of financial and procurement experts as they share their experiences and insights into which strategies allow for preservation of cash and cost savings that are both immediate and sustainable. During this one hour online session, you will hear practical advice on:

• Cash Optimization: The impact of technology, procurement and accounts payable on cash optimization
• Spend Visibility: How advanced spend analysis can improve visibility and drive a healthier balance sheet
• Risk Reduction: How technologies, contracts and advanced supplier visibility can reduce risks
• Procurement Excellence: How advanced procurement techniques drive significant, long-term savings.
