Source to Contract (S2C) Platform Implementation Doesn't Guarantee Positive Results - Using it Does
Scanmarket has a 20+ year history of providing advanced and intuitive S2C tools with the right expert support to get real business results. On average, customers see a 300% increase in throughput and savings from their source to contract programs when they switch to Scanmarket.
Why Some S2C Programs Fail
The buying organization and the chosen solution provider often spend most time and energy on selecting the right solution and implementing it, including configuration, data migration, standard training, and roll-out of the solution.
However, post-implementation is where the real work begins, and where most organizations place the least focus. Post-implementation comprises of different components, depending on the S2C solution and the maturity of the organization, including:
- Change management when adapting from manual to digital processes or from a legacy to the new system.
- Driving initial widespread adoption
- Winning hearts and minds across the organization, breaking down resistance and myth-busting
- Monitoring and driving performance
- Calculating and reporting on the benefits and ROI of the S2C solution
- Continuous evaluation and improvement
