Rethinking Vendors Turns Traditional Thinking about Vendor Relationships on its Head

Sept. 29, 2011 - PRLog -- Rethinking Vendors© is Vendor Centric’s (http://vendorcentric.com) first release in a forthcoming series of publications on vendor relationship management. It was written by cofounder and CEO, Tom Rogers, and captures the company’s core philosophy about the untapped value in the customer/vendor relationship. “Organizations of all types and sizes can significantly increase their ability to drive growth, control costs, and mitigate risk by being more strategic about their vendor relationships and by taking a more process-driven approach to how they manage those relationships,” said Rogers. “Rethinking Vendors was written for organizations that want to spend less money while also creating more value from their vendor relationships.”
