“In today’s environment of limited personnel resources, FlexRFP^™ will allow us to increase the number of categories we can focus on and aggregate our spending across locations into single RFP’s, thereby increasing our efficiency and leverage. During our pilot, (FlexRFP^™’s)system ease of use was evident. Combined with reductions in cycle times and purchase price reductions, the decision to extend our relationship with EC Sourcing Group was easy when viewed on a ROI basis.”

“FlexRFP^™ has met or exceeded our expectations on many levels and we have conducted very complicated bids using the software and it performed well. More importantly, is that when we contacted EC Sourcing Group to discuss software enhancements, they responded quickly and thoroughly to our enhancement requests. Unlike other e-Sourcing providers, EC Sourcing Group understood our requests from a purchasing perspective and as a result, we were able to design better solutions. We conduct extensive supplier feedback research after every sourcing event to gauge supplier reaction. The feedback from suppliers was and continues to be very positive on using the software to input RFI/RFP/Pricing information.”

“Atlantic Health System is pursuing technologies that will allow us to utilize the Internet to make the organization more efficient in its business practices. We see FlexRFP^™ as a tool to enhance our current process by reducing the cycle time of category negotiations and to generate increased competition for our requirements. In our review of the available e-sourcing providers, we were impressed by the way; EC Sourcing Group blended technological knowledge with actual hands-on experience in the field of procurement. This was a major differentiation that set them apart from the competition.”
