[Virtual Presenter] Good morning everyone, It is a pleasure to present the Certified E-Procurement Professional (CEPP) seminar. Today's seminar will be informative and insightful, providing an overview of the selection and implementation of e-procurement tools and systems. Let's begin to explore the new revolution of e-procurement!.

[Audio] E-procurement is the purchase of goods and services through electronic means. It is an integral part of many corporate supply chains and is beneficial to businesses of all sizes due to its efficiency. The e-procurement process begins with sending an electronic message such as a request for quote or a solicitation of a vendor’s bid. Then, the supply chain manager reviews the various bids before selecting the vendor. After the selection, a purchase order or contract is generated and the delivery of goods and services takes place, followed by invoicing and payment of the vendor. Web-based vendor management systems can assist with streamlining the approval process. Other tools to enhance the e-procurement process include Request for Information, electronic bidding, electronic data interchange systems, and web-based inventory and order management systems. Through the use of technology, organizations can reduce costs, improve efficiency, and streamline the entire procurement process..

[Audio] Participants of the CEPP seminar will learn the knowledge and best practices to incorporate strategic contracts into their business processes. Through hands-on experience, they will be taught how to normalize data and information, select e-procurement tools, and implement e-procurement decisions. Further, they will gain an understanding of how to utilize a team approach to develop appropriate request for proposals (RFPs), technical requirements, and proposal submittal requirements. Additionally, participants will have the chance to evaluate proposals through total cost of ownership and net present value techniques, and be informed of the potential pitfalls when making selections. Lastly, they will learn how to write effective contracts..
