DIG AG and newtron AG announced the merger of their companies. After an extensive market research within the segment of strategic procurement the Austrian DIG decided for the German newtron as a partner. This way, both companies achieve a continuing and future-proof market position. With this decision DIG is now able to offer all web-based solutions for the optimization of business purchasing processes – functional as well as strategic. Now, the complete product portfolio from eProcurement, outbound, EDI, webEDI, VMI to eSourcing, SRM and consulting can be offered from one source.

Permanent market research is an absolute must for all successful purchasers. That’s why Höveler Holzmann Consulting created a checklist with 12 questions, which show your level of knowledge of the procurement market.

By now the DIG AG procurement platform eRelation-PROCUREMENT is available in 20 languages. 9 languages were added in 2011, as Japanese, Turkish and Swedish.

The Spring Procurement GmbH and the University of Economics Vienna analyzed the todays handling of green procurement within Austrian companies, their actual actions and procedures, possible constraints as well as the development of the importance of green procurement until 2020.
