On June 21st ICT Media, Publisher of CIO Magazine, Outsource Magazine and Magazine IT Management, organizes the first Annual Conference Strategic Sourcing: An international event for CIO’s, IT executives and Finance executives. We are one of the partners for this year.

This year we will be focussing on “Creating value”. Strategic sourcing now is at its crossroads. Many organizations are re-evaluating their sourcing contracts. How about strategy, sourcing governance, supply- and demand management? Enterprises and governmental bodies simply need to be ready for a change, need to get more value out of sourcing relationships! And the time is now!

For IT executives this means they definitely have to become business partners and at the same time truly challenge their vendors and business counterparts: in the end it’s totally not about cost savings – it should be all about business values! So the question is: What is the value of sourcing?

How can this value be achieved? Has insourcing become an option? What about cost savings and innovation? New developments like SaaS and the Cloud? Near- versus farshoring? How to develop demand management and manage multi-vendor contracts? So what is the roadmap to the so called theme ‘Sourcing 3.0’?

Like all conferences of ICT Media a host of top international and national speakers and IT executives will inspire you, will have dialogue with you and provide you insights on one of the most urgent topics of IT and business in today’s business environment and economic climate: Strategic Sourcing.

The Evoluon Eindhoven is the iconic conference centre of Eindhoven, city of design and technology, and the location of the first Annual Conference Strategic Sourcing. This top event offers you: inspiration, know-how, 250+ colleagues decision makers and a high level of hospitality.

As valued member of the IT community we would like to invite you as our personal guest. We would appreciate it if you could let us know whether you accept our invitation by the end of this week.

So be there, join the discussions and get ready to be (better) able to create value! We are looking forward to welcome you!
