Lifecycle management (PLM) software provider UGS Corp announced it signed a software and services contract with Procter & Gamble (P&G) to implement a strategic sourcing solution – based on UGS' Teamcenter digital lifecycle management software portfolio – that P&G will deploy worldwide for its sourcing professionals and suppliers.
UGS made the announcement in conjunction with its annual industry analyst conference in New York.
After evaluating several solutions, P&G selected UGS' Teamcenter to enable a web-based supplier relationship management (SRM) suite to integrate under the P&G corporate supplier portal. By using Teamcenter's sourcing community, P&G is able to manage all aspects of the supplier relationship in its single-window system.
“The P&G opportunity enables UGS to offer next generation SRM capability coupled with PLM,” said Jim Milton, executive vice president of global sales and services for UGS. “The close collaboration between P&G and UGS has resulted in a set of capabilities that will streamline the sourcing process, optimize sourcing activities and, more importantly, provide analytics and tools for efficient decision making for the company.”
Reducing Complexity In awarding the business to UGS, the primary factor P&G cited for its decision was the potential for reduced complexity by using Teamcenter to integrate its existing architecture of multi-vendor sourcing solutions and linking SRM with product development andthe sourcing process.
