The days in 2018 are few, but CAPS Research is far from winding down. We're releasing a research report today: Data Analytics Teams and Procurement - Who and What. It's designed to inform and equip you in your own digital evolution. All the details are below.
We've also launched a new website! It's designed to put the information you're looking for front-and-center, give you the tools to contact the right team members with no fuss, and it's the scalable framework for [spoiler alert] broader site enhancements coming in the Spring. Please give it a look and feel free to reply to this email with questions, comments, and suggestions. In the meantime:
Quick fact: Amazon for Business
| In a recent Snapshots survey, 25% of companies reported that they currently use Amazon for Business. Of that group, 41% say they're using Amazon for Business to shrink their tail spend and are seeing positive results. |  |
Complete a survey, get helpful metrics in return: Surveys are for both members and non-members. We love your data, and in exchange, everyone who completes a survey receives a complimentary copy of its metric report. That said, CAPS members get extra love: breakout reports and custom survey opportunities. Sign up here to participate.

NEW RESEARCH: Data Analytics Teams and Procurement
| Procurement leaders are turning to data analytics teams to help them leverage the wealth of data available and meet business goals, but what skills should the team have? This research investigates assembling, structuring, retaining, and supporting the team. It examines how data analytics can facilitate procurement practices related to spend analysis, contract management, market intelligence, and supply chain risk. |
