Pit Stop Drives ISM Traffic at the 94th Annual ISM Conference
• View Pit Stop Challenge Photographs
May
21, 2009 -- The 94th Annual Institute of Supply Management
Show and Conference attendees had a chance to test their
pit crew skills in a competitive tire-changing challenge,
sponsored by Puridiom,
Procure-to-Pay Solution Provider. The NASCAR-inspired challenge
demonstrated the analogy of selecting the correct tool,
team and strategy to reach a winning result quickly and
effectively.
Held
on May 3 – 5, in Charlotte, NC, the annual
International
Supply Management Conference & Educational Exhibit
provided the opportunity for many suppliers to showcase
their products and services to ISM conference attendees
looking for new solutions or services to equip and support
their supply chain. Puridiom has been an active sponsor
of the event for the past four years and realized that this
year would present a unique challenge to exhibitors because
of the current economic situation. With attendance expected
to be lower than usual, due to tightened travel budgets,
Puridiom’s goal was to bring awareness of their suite
of e-procurement solutions and how procurement automation
processes, in conjunction with well thought-out strategies,
can significantly improve bottom-line savings.
“Now,
more than ever, companies need to re-evaluate their procurement
processes,” says Albert Jacobs, vice president of operations,
Puridiom. “Organizations must make spend management
a top priority.” He also adds, “Technology that
supports best practice strategies for managing the entire
procure-to-pay process offers the most opportunity to reduce
cost, manage risks, improve performance and compliance, while
delivering a real value proposition.” The Pit Stop Challenge,
a competitive tire-changing attraction, provided by
ThunderDome
Racing, offered a visual example of how choosing
the right technology (power gun vs. tire iron) and strategy
(expert advice) could improve time and efficiency. Many attendees
and exhibitors alike undertook the challenge, building a friendly,
competitive camaraderie. “Our goal is not just to gain
new clients, but also to introduce ourselves as real people,
real support and a real company, that will always be there
for you,” says Cynthia Cornman, marketing director.
“The
Right Tool, The Right Team” will continue to be the
mantra of Puridiom as it meets the procurement challenges
of organizations of all sizes and industries. Puridiom plans
to be an exhibitor and sponsor of next year’s ISM conference
in San Diego.
