Quite a few industries have been a buzz lately with talks of major mergers - Pfizer and Allergan in the biopharmaceutical sector, brewers Anheuser-Busch and SABMiller and chemical manufacturers Dow and DuPont. When is comes to supply chain management what do these companies need to focus on, should their mergers happen? This week, Source One's Associate Director Jennifer Ulrich weighs in on the impact these mergers will have on their industries, as well as how to successfully plan and coordinate the combined spend categories.

Even the most mature Strategic Sourcing and Procurement departments are still shunned out of the IT spend category.

But, what do you do once you're able to overcome these hurdles? - make sure you deliver on the value of procurement you promised.  In her follow up blog piece, Torey explains how to ensure procurement working together with IT is a valuable experience.
