Iasta will help you extend the reach of your sourcing team so they can achieve their goals faster and better.

Collaborative Sourcing Projects

Iasta offers Collaborative Sourcing Projects (CS-Projects) for companies that are searching for cost savings opportunities, but have limited time or resources to run their own projects. These fully managed projects allow clients to benefit from Iasta’s resources to hit their cost savings goals. No project is too big or too small, too complex or too simple.

Talented Iasta team members work in tandem with the company’s sourcing team so clients get the desired results without actually running a project themselves. The required work from the client in the CS-Project is dependent on the scope of the project. After submitting their data, Iasta team members do the repetitive, tactical work or provide more strategic services for a complex project.

CS-Project opportunities include:

• Project planning / strategy
• Project development and management
• Event development
• Optimization and award analysis management
• Post-event reporting
