I recently wrote a post called The Top 7 Signs They're Trying To Outsource Purchasing. Just the word "outsource" usually sends shivers up and down the spines of corporate workers.
Purchasing Magazine has some interesting articles about outsourcing in the current issue. Some Purchasing Departments are in favor if it! The article linked in the previous sentence also has an analysis that explains why outsourcing some Procurement functions has no impact on the Procurement Department at all.
The article contains a resource list of Procurement outsourcing providers if you want to do further research.
What are your experiences with outsourcing? Has it affected you and your Procurement Department
Frankly, I have never came across such a problem, but now that you've put it in discussion I'll have to take it in consideration and beware from now on. Thanks for sharing it wish us !
