Nitor has established world-class benchmarks on the 8-Elements of successful Procurement organizations. Our cross-industry experience and market studies have determined the people, process, and technology aspects that make a company "emerging," "average," or "best-in-class." We work with key business process owners for each of the 8-Elements to define where you are today, where you want to be tomorrow, and the actions that will bridge that gap.

Nitor's 8-Element Assessment methodology delivers the following outputs to enable sustainable source-to-pay transformation for our clients:

  • Benchmark Analysis
  • Gap Analysis
  • Transformation Roadmap & Priorities
  • Business Case & ROI

Following an assessment, actually executing the recommendations and transforming the source-to-pay environment is what creates change. Nitor goes on the source-to-pay solution journey with our clients and helps create and build the new people, process, and technology foundation across all 8-Elements.
