SUMMARY:30 Minute Business Process Solutions' Demonstrations - Procurement 
 in 2015 will require ROI
DESCRIPTION:“We now have 200+ personnel using the ISS Group iPurchaseTM s
 ystem. Implementing this Digitized system has reduced errors\, improved cy
 cle time\, and improved our relationship with our suppliers."\n\nRushik Pa
 tel\, IT Manager\, MTF\n\n&nbsp\;\n\nBusinesses increasingly must think of
  purchasing and procurement activities in terms of value\, efficiency\, an
 d overall return on investment (ROI).\n\nCost savings are a given. But to 
 be a top performer\, procurement staff must generate many times the invest
 ment and cost of their supply management assets\, according to SupplyManag
 ement.com.\n\nA fast and effective way to improve your procurement process
  is to eliminate redundant data entry through an electronic solution like 
 iPurchase. This solution also streamlines purchase order requisitions and 
 routing.\n\nFor instance\, iPurchase has a web system that can be deployed
  immediately to hundreds of users across the globe. It’s simple: users m
 ake their own rules.\n\nIn this weeks presentation we will be focusing on 
 efficiencies and costs associated with redundant data entry and time save
 d on searching through old data for previous purchases.\nReal-time integr
 ation with QAD and will also operate in hybrid ERP environments\niPurchase
  reads the QAD Supplier Master table\, the Item Master table\, etc. in rea
 l time\, as well as writes to the QAD Purchase Order table in real-time\, 
 eliminating the need for redundant data entry\, which in turn reduces huma
 n error\; improving efficiency and greatly enhancing productivity. Master 
 file data is maintained in one place\, QAD. iPurchase not only works with 
 QAD EA. Any ERP solution can be integrated with iPurchase to allow a user 
 to create a purchase order in their ERP solution after a request is approv
 ed.\nQAD Purchase Order Inquiry/Re-print\niPurchase has a feature which en
 ables the user to access QAD data. A user has the ability to look up old p
 urchase orders\, and reprint them on an ‘as-needed’ basis.\n\n&nbsp\;\
