MEASURE
MEASURE records the procurement initiatives that generate
savings or efficiencies
The Observatory's MEASURE functionality
provides an efficiency measurement framework and the supporting
online tools to make it easy to capture, collate, analyze and
report the savings and efficiencies delivered by the procurement
function.
Demonstrate the effectiveness of the procurement function
MEASURE helps you evidence the effectiveness of
the procurement function and the benefits it delivers to the
organization.
Create compelling reports for management in less time
Reduce the time and effort in creating compelling and regular
"savings & efficiency" reports for senior management.
Track and quantify delivered savings
MEASURE enables you to track and quantify the
savings delivered more easily.
Reduce the administrative burden and eliminate data entry
bottle-necks
You can reduce the administrative burden by allowing recording
of savings and efficiencies to be distributed to those responsible
for delivering the savings. This improves the accuracy and
completeness.
Flexible and easy to use tools
The MEASURE reporting tools are
flexible, easy to use and enable you to quickly generate the
charts, graphs, tables and lists that deliver the answers to a wide
range of savings related questions.

"The spend analysis was something that was sorely needed at Tampa. Spikes Cavell and the Observatory are going to help us streamline in a lot of areas."
