Intelex webinar "Tracking Your Way to Optimal Supplier Performance" sparked so much interest that we're going to offer it again on Wednesday, March 10th, 2010! Bevin Lyon, Intelex Executive Account Manager who has helped dozens of organizations implement supplier management software, will return as your host and subject matter expert to deliver valuable information and answer all of your questions related to supplier performance tracking.

A variety of supplier management concerns were discussed and Bevin also talked about what he believes a company's method of supplier performance evaluation should include: cost, delivery, service, quality, compliance, financial, safety, and information protection, all of which he addressed in further detail.

For instance, when evaluating a supplier's service performance, an organization should ask the following questions: has the supplier resolved discrepancies quickly? Has the supplier failed to respond to inquiries and requests? Does the supplier direct an appropriate level of technology towards customer service and process improvements? 

And in terms of quality performance, has the supplier provided products and services that consistently meet or exceed specifications, standards, and expectations? Does the supplier offer competitive warranties? Does the supplier comply with certification requirements?

To learn more and have your questions answered, register now for Intelex's encore presentation of "Tracking Your Way to Optimal Supplier Performance" on Wednesday, March 10th, 2010.

For more information on this Intelex webinar, or to ask questions about supplier management software, please contact Bevin Lyon at 416.599.6009 x244.

If there was one message prevalent in last week’s webinar, it was Ask Questions. The Intelex webinar, “Unlocking and Utilizing Your Resources: Purchasing Health & Safety Software in the New Economy” provided valuable insight into the process of purchasing EHS software. Though the presentation was initially designed with Health & Safety professionals in mind, the overall theme is relevant to all management areas. 

Presented by Dan Marcus, one of Intelex’s Executive Account Managers, the webinar first identified the must-ask questions when beginning your pursuit for a software vendor. What service types are available? What are the payment options? Dan also touched on ‘how to sell your system up the chain of command’ through writing proposals, defining a quantitative ROI, and allocating resources for implementation:

“In today’s economy there is no room for wasted money. Leveraging software will create a more efficient work environment that acts as a vehicle for cost savings. The no. 1 barrier preventing a professional from purchasing software is a lack of a purchasing strategy. To buy software in the new economy, a professional’s job is not only to understand the cost savings, but to document and prove these saving in a business proposal.”

For more information on Intelex's "Unlocking & Utilizing Your Resources" webinar, or to ask questions about purchasing software, please contact Dan Marcus at 416.599.6009 x335.

Next month, Intelex’s Bevin Lyon will be presenting, “Tracking Your Way to Optimal Supplier Performance”. The webinar will look at different methods for achieving optimal supplier performance. Register online or contact JP Nadeau for more information.
