Make better decisions on what you buy, how you buy and from whom you buy

The right focus on procurement and vendor management can yield significant bottom-line benefits to your organization. But to realize those benefits requires the ability to streamline your procurement process, negotiate better deals, build better contracts and manage vendors within the context of a fast-evolving marketplace.

Whether you are responsible for procurement, vendor management or need to more fully understand the economics of buying technology for your organization, we can help you improve your decision making with an end-to-end approach that applies equally to insourced, single- sourced or multisourced environments.

These co-located Gartner Summits — when attended back-to-back — provide a comprehensive view of the entire vendor lifecycle. The result: you'll understand the full dynamics of the marketplace — from the marketplace issues, value expectations for sourcing, different pricing methodologies and contract styles that will influence your decision making to knowing which provider and delivery option can deliver the greatest value.

Join us this September for one highly productive and efficient week in Orlando and gain the necessary tools, frameworks and best practices to address the full spectrum of procurement as well as vendor management challenges.
