Decentralized IT Procurement

What does decentralized IT procurement mean?

Decentralized IT procurement is an approach that lets different departments handle their own purchasing decisions instead of letting a single team manage everything. 

Here are a few best practices companies use to make sure a decentralized approach to IT procurement runs smoothly:

• Combining flexibility with control to maximize efficiency and cut costs in IT asset management

• Providing a unified platform for oversight, with multiple administrators

• Setting clear guidelines to keep purchasing consistent across departments

• Monitoring transactions to avoid redundancy and waste

• Collaborating by sharing visibility into all procurement activity
