United Technologies Corp. (UTC) is by all measures an industrial powerhouse. With its six business units employing their own procurement processes, United Technologies (UTC) was unable to optimize its indirect purchasing across the company as whole. UTC engaged IBM to create an outsourced procurement service that fully automated order processing from requisition to invoice payment. Tight integration with business unit ERP systems gives UTC realtime visibility into and control over purchasing activity.
