BASIC SPEND ANALYSIS

Analysis of spend by vendor through the analysis of the vendor master file, includes de-duplicating vendor accounts and assigning an eOTD class to vendor accounts. The eOTD class should be translated to a hierarchical classification (UNSPSC, eCl@ss, CPV, Custom classification) through a look up table. May include identifying family trees and grouping spend by ultimate parent company. The purpose of the analysis is to support vendor optimization programs which typically involve assessment of risk by class and a plan to either increase vendor numbers to mitigate risk or to decrease vendor number to improve pricing.

ENHANCED SPEND ANALYSIS

In addition to the basic spend analysis this includes assigning an eOTD class to line item detail typically contained on purchase orders or invoices. The purpose of the analysis is similar to the basic spend analysis with the added ability to optimize the sourcing of classes of items between vendors to further mitigate risk and improve pricing.

IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF MATERIAL, SERVICE OR VENDOR MASTER DATA

This usually includes merging data from multiple sources and consists in assigning an eOTD class as well as developing and applying an eOTD Identification Guide (cataloging template) for each identified class. Typically includes gap analysis and researching missing data as well as the development of standardized short and long ERP descriptions using the eOTD recommended abbreviations. May include developing and deploying vendor data integration solutions as well as data validation (such as address or part number correction). The purpose of this work is to identify duplicates in the Master Data and improve descriptions for analysis, contracting and supply chain management.

PRODUCT DATA MANAGEMENT (PDM)

Typically used in manufacturing environments as a link between the design and ERP systems. Will include many features of cataloging applications. May be able to use eOTD-i-XML as a data requirement request and generate ISO 22745 catalogue exchange format (eOTD-r-XML) as output.
