Maverick spend is a problem for nearly all procurement organizations. Even those with substantial influence still struggle to achieve 100% compliance on contract spend—resulting in reduced effectiveness, lost negotiated savings, unnecessary risk, and lower customer satisfaction.

Read this recent research and learn how to apply the hallmarks of leaders in maverick-spend reduction, including:
- Four key capabilities required for guided buying
- Automation of the end-to-end process with e-procurement tools, contract management software, and similar purchase-to-pay tools
