Laurie Orlov, research director, Forrester Research, will be the featured speaker. Her presentation will include an overview of the current state of e- procurement and an analysis of recent research from the Institute of Supply Management and the Hackett Best Practices study of purchasing departments. Orlov will provide insight on:

• Current adoption rates - by industry and by type of online purchasing tool
• Satisfaction ratings for preferred vendors
• Why streamlining associated process steps, not just procurement, is critical
• Matching performance to best practices
• How e- procurement is evolving

Julie Murphree, Editor-In-Chief of iSource Business will moderate the 60-minute seminar that will also include a brief overview of the Noosh application and a question and answer period.

"A weak economy and consolidation have reduced the clutter and confusion in e-procurement," said Mike Gardner, President & CEO, Noosh. "Purchasing professionals with an eye on creating strategic advantages should find this seminar very valuable."
