Verticalnet, Inc. (Nasdaq:VERT), a leader in On Demand supply management
solutions, today announced that for the third year in a row, procurement
professionals and practitioners from many of the world's leading
sourcing organizations gathered in Philadelphia, PA to celebrate and
attend Verticalnet Summit 2006, Verticalnet’s
annual customer and user conference. This year’s
event was held at the Sofitel Hotel in the heart of historic Center City
Philadelphia and boasted a speaker list of name brand companies and
leading supply management practitioners.
Presenters included representatives from PepsiCo, 3M, International
Paper, Lexmark, Invensys, La Poste and many more. Unlike many customer
conferences in the supply management space, Verticalnet Summit 2006,
entitled Discover a New World of Opportunity, was open to a broad
audience that included customers, prospects, partners and industry
analysis to discuss Supply Management from a real world practitioner's
perspective. Lead by keynote addresses from Mickey North Rizza of AMR
Research and AberdeenGroup’s Vance Checketts,
this business critical event highlighted practical ideas to drive
effective sourcing initiatives, center-led procurement and supply
management improvement in 2006 and beyond.
The event was focused on driving collaboration among Verticalnet
customers and provided an excellent forum for driving best practices and
sharing insights on managing successful supply management programs.
Attendees experienced an agenda of valuable presentations that
highlighted success stories from the Verticalnet global customer
community. Attendee Christine Miller of Watson Pharmaceuticals
commented, “As a sourcing professional I
received real value from the Verticalnet Summit, more so
than other industry events because of the rich unfiltered content, and
the opportunities to openly exchange best practices, network with my
peers, and learn about practical ways to improve our supply management
performance.”
“Verticalnet Summit was truly a
customer-centric event,“ says Verticalnet CEO
and President Nathanael Lentz. “We clearly
understand that no one tells our story better than the Verticalnet
global community. From identifying millions of dollars in savings in
days instead of months, to the enormous benefits of driving adoption and
compliance, our customers’ results spoke for
themselves. We are confident that everyone who attended Verticalnet
Summit 2006 came away with a broadened prospective of what is possible
in this, a new world of opportunity.“
Sourcing professionals are realizing that to effectively navigate the
new world of global supply management opportunities, simple e-sourcing
tools are necessary, but no longer sufficient. To be successful in
today's global marketplace, companies must identify potential suppliers
across a diverse set of markets to determine which opportunities offer
the greatest potential savings with the least amount of risk. At Verticalnet
Summit 2006 practitioners from many of the world's leading
sourcing organizations came together to focus on these and other
critical business issues by sharing best practices, discussing
supply management challenges and trends, and networking with industry
peers.
