From full suite to an evolving digital strategy
For many years, digitalization has been one of the major levers at Technicolor that contributes to the operational excellence of the group. The procurement department has a long history of using purchasing tools, including the deployment of large traditional suites over the last ten years among other dedicated solutions.
The digital landscape is facing a real revolution, with new players shaking up market sectors. With so many more options available for modern procurement teams, Technicolor recently decided to rethink the foundations of its digital strategy, particularly with regard to Source To Contract (S2C).
Today, the need for continuity and homogeneity is confirmed for the P2P process, but not for S2C. For sourcing purposes, rather than being constrained to a single, rigid process, purchasing teams need the flexibility to use tools according to their needs and the evolution of the procurement organization
says Cédric Le Savéant, Technicolor’s Group Purchasing Director.
Full suites occassionally show their limitations, especially with regards to modules that are sometimes insufficient in terms of performance and user experience.
For these reasons, Cédric Le Savéant adopted a best-of-breed approach to upgrade their S2C tools.
Managing procurement activites as backbone of Technicolor’s Digital strategy
For Technicolor Group, the key dimension of Strategic Sourcing is now Project management. The second major axis of our digital strategy is user experience – which is fundamental to guarantee adoption and ensure scalability
says Cédric Le Savéant.
According to this Purchasing Director, functional depth is no longer the main criteria to select solutions. He adds that the ability to integrate tools and the accessibility of data are core in Technicolor’s digital strategy.
In this “best of breed” approach, Per Angusta’s Purchasing Performance Management (PPM) solution naturally appeared fundamental. It is the “backbone” that will guarantee both flexibility and scalability we are looking for in the purchasing tools that support us
confides Cédric Le Savéant.
Beyond the possible integration with other tools, the purpose of the PPM platform at Technicolor is also, as a spinal column, to feed the brain, being the management and general management.
Today, the solution’s objectives are to allow purchasing to access all information, to engage with all internal customers, and also to consolidate essential data, synthesize it and then present it to decision-makers. It is through its reporting, collaboration and visibility capabilities on Procurement Performance that Per Angusta has become THE reference solution for today and tomorrow.
Fitting the needs of Procurement pros
After a project phase of less than 4 weeks, the Per Angusta platform replaced the initial tool for performance management and savings tracking, while being linked with the other tools already in place.
Deployment was easy and fast. The procurement background of Per Angusta’s staff, in particular the project manager, was essential and made all the difference on this project
underlines Cédric Le Savéant.
As a solution “made by buyers for buyers”, Per Angusta focused on the expectations of Technicolor’s buyers, making sure that they spoke the same language, facilitating the connection with users, and finally being proactive with continuous suggestion throughout the project.
Compared to other projects, this was done very naturally and simply. The quality of every interaction and ease communication, in addition to real procurement expertise from the Per Angusta team allowed us all to save time and energy and to create trust
This leading transport group operating bus, coach, rail and tram services, says Per Angusta has “raised the profile of procurement in the organization and given our teams more visibility and credibility with management.”
This fast-moving consumer goods company says Per Angusta means “having the right data and the right engagement helps us enhance how people see Global Procurement.”
