The Mentor Network’s mission is to improve the lives of the people and communities they serve, and when they looked internally at their existing P2P process, they saw their own employees enduring a cumbersome and tedious user experience – or not enduring it and circumventing the system, leading to lower Spend Under Management and lost savings. Learn how Zycus and The Mentor Network are collaborating to re-imagine the next generation of P2P, with an innovation in “Guided Buying,” that reconciles the need for both increased ease-of-use and greater spend and process compliance. We’ll examine the business case and performance benchmarks driving The Mentor Network towards new levels of P2P performance.

CURRENT ORACLE IPROCUREMENT ENVIRONMENT
Server Based - Network
access required
Lacks Ease of Use- Formal
Training Required, Not
intuitive
A structured feedback
loop is not in place to
generate valuable
inputs to the category
strategy reevaluation
process.
It has been estimated that
about 20% of total spend is
coded with incorrect GL
accounting codes, resulting
in inaccurate spend
categorization.
Long lead times (2 mos.) for
catalog on-boarding -IT
Resources Required
Licenses based on
company revenue
Pain Points
Contractors do not have
access to Oracle
There are no tools
in place to actively
monitor spend
trending over time.
Workflow changes require
formal IT SERF
The current spend
analysis process does
not include vendor
name normalization
prior to
categorization.
Quarterly business
reviews appear to be
focused on a review of
statistical information
rather than measuring
supplier performance and
value-add opportunities.

Our Usability Use case starts where each user starts – by searching for what they need.I’ve heard more than one procurement leader summarize their P2P user requirements as follows: “Google Search and Amazon Shopping” – both familiar B2C models, and the analogy works – for the most part.Like Google, users want a single search and multiple options – including simple keywords. However, the Guided Buying Concept is actually closer to Amazon’s category-based search than Google keywords that could return 000’s of thousands of search results. At Amazon, users must pick a category or department to sort search results. As in the Guided Buying example shown here, Categorization is the key to more efficient, relevant searches.A keyword search for blade for example, could return search results from any number of categories that include the keyword anywhere in the description – anything from electrical plugs to cutting tools, servers or drives, even roller blades. By auto-classifying the user search term and presenting them with relevant categories, the user avoids extraneous search results that could be frustrating – or worse, could invite an impulse buy for those long sought after roller blades.
