Difference

Difference is our commitment to the unprecedented: advancing procurement performance

As any organization in business we are being compared ... and that's the name of the game that you have to accept if you want to be in the trade ... so we accept that

But to make the comparison more accurate, we have decided to provide you with our own self assessment of our differences ... in essence providing you with own strategy canvas so that you can further your own assessment

We are a software firm ... but somehow we go well beyond ... we provide our clients with a software that has codified best practices in procurement and finance to ensure that they are not left alone in bridging the knowledge and know-how that general management consultants provide with the tools that traditional software companies sell ... So in a way we have done the job for our clients

So through our software we provide built-in domain expertise at the intersection of procurement and Finance , enabling spend analysis, planning and controlling ... in essence we help our clients to identify savings opportunities, manage a series of programs cross-functionally, set targets incorporated in budgets and measure actual financial impact linking causalities and results together

The results of our work is indeed displayed through dashboards ... but we are not a reporting tool ... or a BI tool ... but we use such reporting technology as our front end , making the core of the Sievo software user friendly

And yes, it is a lot about data management ... and because we understand how frustrated clients have been with software vendors asking for data and blaming them for not delivering, we actually accompany our client's procurement and IT professionals to make things happen on time and on budget ... in short we take responsibility for the success of the project

And with these differences we truly help our clients to make sure value of cross-functional procurement improvement efforts really hit the bottom line ... and eventually pushes them to go well beyond the obvious in the procurement domain ...
