摘要

Re-engineering the procurement process is paying off for the Denver News Agency.In two years,it has increased the number of purchasing card holders by 18%,transactions by 25% and spending per card by 32%.After the Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News entered into a joint agreement in 2001 forming the Denver Newspaper Agency,Ginger Young,purchasing director,evaluated the company's purchasing process.Rocky Mountain News had a purchasing card program in place,but it didn't have the flexibility she thought it should have to fill the needs of the new organization.Instead of trying to make it fit,she decided to take a new look at the entire procure-to-pay process.She also wanted a card company to provide her with realtime reporting on employee spending.
