BMW Group – Technical purchasing with Documentum

Challenge

One of the objectives of the e-business SRM (Supplier Relationship Management) programme within the BMW Group was to electronically support BMW’s technical purchasing processes. For this purpose, a purchaser workplace (EAP) was developed, which allows the purchaser to handle all processes electronically, including the approval, forwarding and storage of the documents that are important for each process. It should also be possible to exchange these documents with the internal process partners (requisitioners) or the external suppliers.
