Strategic Sourcing

With all the hype about Internet-enabled supply chain management, procurement managers are under the gun to improve processes and decrease costs. It's one thing to "fish" for a new supplier on the Web. It's something completely revolutionary to have one of the world's largest collections of part numbers, components, catalogs, suppliers, and government procurement histories available from a single source.

IHS has been aggregating, cataloging, organizing, and updating vendor information for more than 40 years. Instead of "fishing" online, why not leverage the IHS experience to enhance your strategic sourcing processes.

• HAYSTACK gives you access to more than 40 U.S. government procurement databases as well as a huge commercial parts database, the IHS Universal Parts Center.
• CatalogXpress provides access to a comprehensive online collection of vendor catalogs for parts, products, components, etc.
• Capture and Integration solutions from IHS help you integrate product information from suppliers, aggregators, and distributors, with your procurement, sourcing and other enterprise applications, allowing for more complete information throughout the sourcing process.
• Document Management Systems and other solutions provide access to all of your documents (paper or electronic), your applications, and your data sources (IHS, internal, or third party). Expect improved productivity, lower training costs, faster research, and better decisions.
