"The close collaboration between P and G and UGS has resulted in a set of capabilities that will streamline the sourcing process, optimise sourcing activities and, more importantly, provide analytics and tools for efficient decision making for the company." In awarding the business to UGS, the primary factor P and G cited for its decision was the potential for reduced complexity by using Teamcenter to integrate its existing architecture of multi-vendor sourcing solutions and linking SRM with product development and the sourcing process.
The company also cited Teamcenter's robust collaboration capabilities, ease of use, ability to rapidly deploy the Teamcenter-based system and its proven scalability in implementations exceeding 20,000 users, as well as confidence in UGS' software and support.
"P and G is creating a world-class sourcing environment that provides stakeholders in its procurement supply network with single-window access to the company's sourcing applications and product data.
Strategic sourcing is a competitive advantage for P and G and this new system will help us accelerate the process from procurement to commercialisation of innovations," said Dave Schmid, Associate Director, Purchases, P and G.
"P and G procurement professionals will be able to make faster and more efficient sourcing decisions by quickly finding and reusing data created in other systems.
Also, by automating routine tasks and providing self-service support for our suppliers we will be able to better focus on strategic sourcing decisions.".
