Increasing Demand for Demand Management
By neoIT
A new term, "demand management" is finding its way into the vocabularies of leading-edge global organizations. Demand management is the discipline of systematizing and prioritizing global sourcing investments, managing spending, implementing change and overseeing the realization of results.

"In many organizations, demand management functions continue to be a series of loosely connected, ad hoc processes subject to management discretion," stated neoIT CEO Eugene Kublanov. "Today, global sourcing frontrunners are developing systematic processes and defined responsibilities that fall under the demand management umbrella and increasingly view demand management as a worthwhile investment rather then as a cost."
