| Making the Most from IT Purchasing (PDF 104kb) | Information technology is an increasingly vital asset to most organisations - frequently if the IT stops so does the business. Yet many organisations that depend upon IT don't realise the risks they are running in purchasing IT systems and services. SPS runs two one-day programmes Fundamentals of IT Purchasing and Practical IT Purchasing to enable people working in both public and private sectors to make the most of the opportunities that present themselves when an IT purchase is necessary. | 20/04/2007 |
| Making the Most of Expenditure Analysis (PDF 107kb) |
Effective procurement is very difficult to undertake without access to meaningful and accurate information. Interpreting the information and trends, and understanding its uses and limitations is essential if expenditure analysis is not to become a missed opportunity. Using consultants to undertake this work is a waste of resources and expensive. This programme will show you how to do it yourself, and give you all the information you need to repeat the analysis using your own information and resources. It is suitable for anyone in your organisation who has responsibility for producing expenditure analysis and for auditors, budget managers, procurement professionals and other senior officers who would use the information to make business decisions. |
