Why Do We Need SCMetrix™?

Industry-accepted benchmarks Center on financial metrics – no “line of sight” on

specific actions for improvement Provide little insight on what actually contributes to

performance Focus on acquisition prices rather than total delivered

supply costs Few allow comparison of performance outside of GPOs

Need statistical evidence Investments do reduce costs Investments do improve other value drivers
