Corning, Inc. Case Study Featured in Vinimaya’s Improving e-Procurement Webinar Series
Innovative Fortune 500 Customer Partners with Vinimaya to Create a Dynamic P2P Marketplace That Integrates with PeopleSoft.
Cincinnati, OH, April 02, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Vinimaya, Inc. (www.vinimaya.com), provider of Vinimaya Smart Marketplace Technology™, the premier Marketplace 2.0 platform, announced a joint online presentation with its customer, Corning, Inc. (GLW).
The webinar, part of Vinimaya’s Improving e-Procurement series, was titled “How Corning, Inc. Transformed Their P2P Marketplace” and occurred on Thursday, March 31, 2011 from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST (11:00 AM – 12:00 PM PST).
Attendees learned how Corning, Inc., one of the world's most innovative Fortune 500 organizations, transformed their global P2P marketplace by deploying Vinimaya’s Smart Marketplace Technology™ (SMT) to:
- Drive global adoption of their e-Procurement process by providing a unified and familiar interface
- Provide end-user choice while staying within the bounds of contract suppliers
- Improve the implementation and maintenance time and costs to enable suppliers
- Enhance the ROI on their existing PeopleSoft investments through simple and complete integration
- Audit supplier data that is housed "in the cloud" to ensure that their contracts are upheld
The complimentary online presentation provided the complete history of Corning’s P2P automation projects, including details regarding the ‘pain-points’ and successes they encountered along their path toward achieving a dynamic, global Marketplace 2.0 and the metrics they are using to continually monitor their performance.
“End-user adoption is the most critical component to driving a return on investment from any e-Procurement process. It can be influenced by a number of issues -- a poor user interface, slow or limited supplier enablement, or inaccurate and out-of-date supplier content,” said Mike Precia, VP of Sales & Marketing, Vinimaya, Inc. “The result has been a referendum from Fortune 500 companies, like Corning, to assess their e-Procurement strategy and realign processes and solutions so they are better equipped to address end-user needs and drive value. This is where Vinimaya really shines. We provide a fast and affordable path to help them get the performance they need from their ERP,” Precia concluded.
The best-practices case study was shared by Ivan Jubilee, Strategic Sourcing Manager, Corning, Inc. and Scott Satchell, Regional Sales Manager, Vinimaya, Inc.
