SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aravo Solutions, Inc., the leading provider of cloud-based Supplier Lifecycle Management (SLM) and B2B information and collaboration solutions, will deliver a timely webinar featuring Forrester Research, Inc. for sourcing, procurement and supply chain executives on taking the first steps to manage supply chain risk. Recent global events have highlighted vulnerabilities in complex global supply chains, and this webinar will help companies learn how to put their risk management objectives into action.
In today’s business environment, supply chain risk can come from any direction. From a key supplier financial failure to supplier product quality, to disruptions due to natural disasters, infrastructure failures or geo-political factors, the list is endless. As a result, savvy procurement executives are investing in Supplier Risk and Performance Management (SRPM) software, making it one of the fastest growing subcategories in the ePurchasing space. But having the right tools is not enough. Companies must build a successful risk management framework that can meet the diverse needs of procurement, supply chain and compliance departments across the enterprise.
Don’t wait until you’ve had a disaster to create the business case for action. “With a powerful SRPM tool, stakeholders across the business can have a single source of truth for supplier information, monitor supplier risk in real time, respond swiftly to compliance audits, and get a complete view into supplier performance and its financial implications for the organization,” wrote Duncan Jones, Vice President, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, Inc., in a recent report: “Supplier Risk And Performance Management Software: The Criteria To Look For In A System”, August 1, 2011.
