The success of a Procurement diagnosis and its deployment are mainly based on a detailed and pragmatic mapping of expenditure and the involvement of internal customers from the start of this diagnosis. This is all the more true in the case of indirect expenditure (IT, Transport, Marketing, Overheads, etc.) which are by nature linked to different Services of the Company.Joe Awad, Director
