| OnDemandSourcing offers three types of services to
jump-start your e-Sourcing activities. These services are
designed to offer each company the right starting point,
depending on their experience and needs.
Self-Service:
This program is designed for the company with extensive
experience in e-Sourcing. This offering allows companies
who have a large volume of events to get started very quickly
with minimal investment. Companies ready to use this
service
can be running events within a matter of days. They will
typically require software training from Moai both for
their
buyers as well as their suppliers. We offer a large array
of event formats for such organizations.
Managed-Service:
This program is designed for the company with limited experience
with
e-Sourcing. This offering will help a company move
forward on the road to independence in
e-Sourcing. This
service offers support throughout the event life cycle depending
on the type of assistance needed. We offer limited event
formats to ease organizations into e-Sourcing. After a few
events, such companies may move to the Self-service model.
Full-Service:
This program is designed for the company just starting out
in the world of
e-Sourcing. On an event-by-event basis this
program offers full support of all aspects of selecting,
creating and running an e-Sourcing event. This program can
be used as a launching point to help a company move towards
Managed-Service events and finally Self-Service events.
The following chart outlines the activities
and responsibilities for each program.
