Enporion Expanding Professional Services Offerings
Subba Nishtala appointed director for professional services; supply chain solution provider eyes spend analysis, sourcing and technology services, change management
Tampa, FL — March 10, 2008 — Supply chain solution provider Enporion is expanding its professional services business offerings, increasing its staff and capabilities, to provide customers with greater resources to execute key supply chain initiatives, the company said.
Enporion provides strategic sourcing and e-procurement applications, as well as related professional services, to customers in the gas and electric utilities, manufacturing and distribution industries. The company said that it has seen increasing demand from its customer base for a range of services to help improve processes and drive other improvements in their supply chains.
In response, Enporion is beefing up its professional services staff, including hiring Subba Nishtala as director of professional services, reporting to the company's vice president of professional services and operations, Keith Stanton. Nishtala, most recently managing associate with ScottMadden Consultants, is to take a leadership position in growing this part of Enporion's business.
Enporion said professional services business will focus on the areas of spend analysis, sourcing services, technology services and change management. The professional services team's goal is to help clients reduce procurement costs and improve supply chain and financial processes by delivering strategic sourcing services, implementing customized technology solutions and actively promoting change adoption of improved systems, processes and technology.
Stanton and Nishtala have several years of experience working directly with chief procurement officers and their teams in driving strategic sourcing and other initiatives, according to Enporion.
Stanton, prior to joining Enporion seven years ago, conducted key consulting engagements while employed by Andersen Consulting (now Accenture), and later by Ernst & Young. And in a recent engagement with a Fortune 500 company, Nishtala led efforts in spend and market analysis, RFP processes, and contract negotiations, resulting in over $5 million dollars of annual savings to the company.
"In 2007, professional services accounted for nearly 25 percent of Enporion's revenue," said George Gordon, chairman and CEO of Enporion. "With eight years of executing hundreds of sourcing projects and with an exceptionally strong team creating technology solutions for customer challenges in supply chain management, our customers have increasingly asked for our help in driving process improvements with their supply chain organizations."
Nishtala holds an MBA from the Kenan-Flagler Business School at UNC-Chapel Hill and a masters in science degree from North Carolina State University in Raleigh.
