-----One of the most important things to know about EC Sourcing as a company and its philosophy of doing business is to understand the backgrounds of our company’s principals & Founders. We previously held positions similar to most of our clients, directing the Strategic Sourcing efforts of a well-known Fortune 500 company. This means we grasp the practical and everyday requirements of the supply management solution you seek.

-----Upon deciding to venture out on our own, we focused on our past experience. We always felt we had a good process, but the way we were executing on that process led to very long and resource-intensive sourcing projects. We knew there had to a better way and began to research the state of e-Sourcing technologies.

-----We extensively reviewed the current solutions in the marketplace and liked the overall concept of applying a technology tool to the Sourcing process. However, we found that the tools available fell short in several key areas important to everyday sourcing professionals, such as:

----1...Most were designed by IT people not Sourcing, Purchasing or Procurement

----2...Most were too complex for the average user (both buyer & supplier) and did not address
------..the day-to-day realities of what actually occurs when doing the work

----3...Most required too much training and therefore were not fully used once purchased

----4...Most were inflexible; “you have to do it their way” or “you can’t do that in the system”

----5...Most were too auction-focused & sometimes take an adversarial approach towards suppliers
