Sourcing enables Business Strategy

Elix-IRR delivers business and operational strategies through sourcing and shared services.

Strategic sourcing is an enabler that continuously improves and re-evaluates the purchasing activities of a company. The world class strategic thinkers in Elix-IRR use the process to enable cost reduction, enhance business value, mitigate operational risk and shorten 'go-to-market' time.

Understand the Dimensions of Sourcing

We draw on our wealth of experience to advise on sourcing decisions and methods of implementation. Our cross functional, cross industry teams knit together the four critical areas of sourcing:

     buy side - the corporation's needs, desires and risks in managing external service providers;
     sell side - the perspective and priorities of the outsource provider;
     advisory - the motivations of third parties guiding the transaction; and
     legal - ensuring the agreement is accurately and completely captured.

Elix-IRR's Sourcing Advisory Method

Rather than simply following a procurement process, our sourcing strategies have a clear purpose and business case. Tying the sourcing strategy to the operating model increases the returns of both initiatives. Sourcing is therefore not just about cutting costs, but about creating real business value – something at the heart of Elix-IRR’s approach.

Elix-IRR has created a Sourcing Advisory Method that guides our clients through every step of the journey. No matter when Elix-IRR gets engaged, we can drive value from Day 1. Our Sourcing Advisory Method provides a holistic service across the spectrum of strategic, operational, sourcing and compliance issues that arise during significant change programmes.

The vision and associated business case are then achieved using Elix-IRR's buy, sell, advise and legal experience. Elix-IRR have vast experience of doing this across multiple industries, and bring our clients aspirations to bear all day, every day.
