Presentation II:  "Oracle Internet Procurement"
This will be a high level presentation of Oracle Internet Procurement and Oracle Exchange with a look at the new and improved user interface for Self Service Purchasing: Self Service Purchasing 5.0, a component of Oracle Internet Procurement.

Oracle's Internet Procurement solution can help your company save money and increases efficiencies. Leveraging the combined power of Oracle Internet Procurement and Oracle Exchange, you can buy all types of goods and services at the best value, make better strategic decisions, and improve the bottom line. These offerings automate and centralize procurement functions such as sourcing, approval routing, and payments while decentralizing the requisitioning and receiving process. This frees up your procurement and accounting professionals to engage in value-added tasks such as analyzing total spend and managing supplier relationships. With support for all types of purchases--production, non-production, capital, MRO, service and administrative--Oracle Internet Procurement enables your organization to save up to 20 percent or more on your total purchasing costs.
