EXTON, Pa. and SHANGHAI, March 2 -- Elemica, the industry-leading B2B supply chain execution network, announces their sponsorship of the 2010 Indirect Spend Summit on March 17, 2010 in Shanghai, China.  Senior Vice President of Elemica Asia, Brian Selby, will present, "e-Sourcing Strategies for China," which details best practices and success stories on strategic sourcing of indirect materials and services within the China market.  The conference targets procurement executives seeking ways to improve efficiency, gain visibility into service costs, and capture savings within the procurement process.

"The indirect spend area of procurement is growing strategically, particularly in the Asia region," said Mike McGuigan, CEO of Elemica.  "To gain a competitive edge, companies need to partner with expert organizations who understand the complexity of procuring services, outsourcing, and supplier relationships.  Using Elemica's robust procurement solutions and sourcing services, our clients acquire more value from their suppliers while reducing costs."

The 2010 Indirect Spend Summit in China provides attendees with valuable case studies and best practices from leading procurement executives who overcame the challenges of procuring services.
