WHY:    Small and mid-sized businesses face the same global economic
        instability and inflation pressures as their larger peers, but
        often without the resources of dedicated purchasing
        departments or defined procedures. As a result, the typical
        SMB applies disciplined sourcing methods to only a third of
        total spending. Supply management solutions available OnDemand
        enable these enterprises to adopt company-wide best-practices,
        without costly or lengthy IT implementations.
