Sharing the Virtual Microphone

February 19th, 2008 · by Tim Minahan · 1 Comment · supply management

Many of you loyal SupplyExcellence readers know that I joined Ariba when they purchased my former employer, Procuri, in December. One benefit of the move is that I now have regular exposure to Ariba’s category and commodity experts who track rapidly changing supply market dynamics.

As a former analyst and self-proclaimed news junkie, I can’t get enough of the insights and research that come out of this group. I’m pleased to announce that I’ve convinced some of these experts to share their voices and analysis on this blog. And I am honored to share the SupplyExcellence microphone with this esteemed group.

In the coming weeks, I will be introducing my co-hosts as they pen their inaugural posts on the latest commodity trends and category strategies. I expect that their regular contributions will give SupplyExcellence a new dimension and provide a valuable resource for supply market information. I also hope that their experienced — “been-there-done-that” — opinions will make this blog the SquawkBox for supply and spend management professionals.

Through these pages, you’ll have increased visibility into how they read, interpret and analyze the news, trends, data and events that impact their particular categories. Their voices will be a great addition to the community we’ve built. So, I hope you’ll enjoy reading and debating their insights as much as I will.

    Tim,

    These will be great voices to add. There is such a wealth of information in the category sourcing/GSO group. I’m shocked by how close to the market everyone I speak with over there is. They’ll be great voices to add, but I’d be even more enthusiastic if you could convince them to have their own blogs. Crawl, walk, run I suppose!
