April 6, 2009 - PRLog -- Monterrey, Mexico – Softtek, a global provider of IT and business process solutions and the largest private IT service provider in Latin America, and Sourcing Interests Group (SIG), a leading membership organization for sourcing and outsourcing professionals, announced today that they will offer a complimentary webinar, “A Guide to Outsourcing the Source-to-Pay Function: Critical Elements for a Successful Transition,” featuring Mary Ellen Mitchell, vice president of sourcing and procurement at Softtek, and Pedro Parra, engagement manager for sourcing and procurement at Softtek, on Tuesday, April 7 at 2:00 pm EST.

What:   “A Guide to Outsourcing the Source-to-Pay Function: Critical Elements for a Successful Transition” Webinar

When:      Tuesday, April 7, 2009 – 2:00 pm EST

Who:   Mary Ellen Mitchell, VP Strategic Sourcing and Procurement, Softtek and
Pedro Parra, Engagement Manager, Sourcing and Procurement Practice, Softtek

Why:   These challenging economic times are forcing companies and their management to find new ways to streamline operations and curtail costs. As a result, initiatives to outsource non-core functions and streamline the supply chain have been on the rise. Among these measures is offshore outsourcing of the purchase order (PO) processing function. Although it has not been adopted as much as other BPO offerings, we foresee companies increasingly embracing source-to-pay (s2p) offshoring. As pressures grow to rapidly implement these engagements, so does the possibility of failure due to unsuccessfully transitioning in-house managed processes to outsourced engagements.

This Softtek and SIG exclusive webinar will address:
•   The challenges faced by CPO in a turbulent environment;  
•   How s2p outsourcing can empower the CPO;
•   The typical phases of a smooth transition plan; and  
•   Best practices for a successful transition.
