 I will try to answer most general purchasing related questions. I have an outstanding experience mainly in the strategic sourcing side of procurement, currently working for one of the giants of the telecom industry. I used to work on governmental contracts for a long time before.

 I am willing to help answer questions on any topic related to "Corporate" procurement, that is to say MRO (Maintenance, Repairs and Operations). Services procurement questions, like Independent Contractor relationships, marketing services providers, legal service providers, software license agreements... bring 'em on. I now spend the vast majority of my time managing procurement professionals and organizing Shared Service centers where procurement activity is centralized. I am an expert in the design and development of procurement policies and procedures. In short... I know how procurement is SUPPOSED to be done and I am very particular about adhering to definable, repeatable, and measureable activities. Oh, and did I mention that I am an expert in the implementation and use of Oracle Procure-to-Pay applications? Yup... that's right... Oracle version 11.0.2 through 11.5.10.2!!
