Puridiom Procurement Congratulates 2016 Pro-to-Know Award Recipient Al Jacobs
Camp Hill, PA (PRWEB) February 19, 2016 -- Puridiom, leading provider of procure-to-pay solutions and services, is proud to announce that one of its own is once again a recipient of the Provider Pro-to-Know award from Supply & Demand Chain Executive. Al Jacobs, COO & VP of Business Relations received the award for his dedication to Puridiom clients and ability to anticipate and proactively alleviate supply chain and procurement challenges.
The Pros to Know Awards recognize supply chain executives, manufacturing and non-manufacturing enterprises, that are leading initiatives to help prepare their companies’ supply chains for the significant challenges of today’s business climate. This year’s list includes more than 200 individuals from software firms and service providers, consultancies or academia, who helped their supply chain clients or the supply chain community at large prepare to meet these challenges—and more than 40 Practitioner Pros, who do the same within their own companies.
“Supply & Demand Chain Executive congratulates the 2016 Supply & Demand Chain Executive Pros to Know recipients. The Pros to Know is a listing of exceptional corporate executives at manufacturing and non-manufacturing enterprises who are leading initiatives to help prepare their companies' supply chains for the significant challenges in the year ahead,” says Ronnie Garrett, editor of Supply & Demand Chain Executive. “We commend recipients for their achievements. Their accomplishments offer a roadmap for other leaders looking to leverage the supply chain for competitive advantage. Their efforts in developing the tools, processes and a knowledge base for supply chain transformation, as well as in promoting new approaches to supply chain enablement, earned these individuals a rightful place in this year's Pros to Know listing.”
Mr. Jacobs is an integral part of the Puridiom procurement vision and is currently spearheading a new comprehensive “Procurement as a Service Cost Improvement Program” to help achieve business goals faster, fill necessary gaps, and deliver real sustainable savings from one year to the next for our customers. He views the following as key challenges facing procurement leaders in the year ahead: must increase the overall effectiveness and influence of procurement, continue to find savings by reducing and avoiding purchase costs, improve business agility, and expand the scope of procurement spend under management.
Mr. Jacobs states “Agility will define procurement leadership in the future. With more data to analyze, volatile conditions around the globe, and the need for new skill sets to handle advanced sourcing requirements, the Procurement-as-a-Service trend will become vital to procurement’s success for the organization now and in the future”. Mr. Jacobs adds, “the role of procurement must be elevated to be a trusted advisor and we at Puridiom perceive this as a top priority for many CPOs in 2016.”
Expansion of each of these topics will be included in a blog series available on the Puridiom Blog.
Puridiom is proud to now have five Pro-to-Know recipients, many with multiple awards, on its team. To view a listing and information about all of our Puridiom Pro-to-Knows, or for more information about the Puridiom Procure-to-Pay solution, please visit our website.
