COVER STORY

Interview: “I get to practice what I preach”

Kai Nowosel, the Chief Procurement Officer (CPO) of Accenture, talks about his journey from being a consultant to a practitioner, and lays out a vision for the future of Procurement.

Pros and Cons of Third-Party Software Maintenance

Software maintenance and support fees usually range from 18–25 percent of the license cost. However, some third-party support providers have faced legal penalties for violating intellectual property rights.

Effective subscription management

Buyers are finding it difficult to manage scientific, technical, and medical (STM) subscriptions despite the supply market being consolidated by aggregators and leading publishers.
