SirionLabs - Engineering Manager

SirionLabs

About Us

Large global enterprises are increasingly dependent on their strategic supplier base and typically manage hundreds of millions of dollars in annual outsourcing arrangements annually (IT, BPO, facilities, logistics). Most of them perform supplier governance of these procured services in silos - segregated by departments, contract, geography or type of service. Only manual governance exists today to cover millions of contract obligations without any real time performance data and only retrospective analysis. A detailed survey conducted over the past 5 years has concluded that on an average value erosion exceeded 20% of annual contract value (ACV). There is no existing single solution to cover the entire lifecycle of supplier management.

Our flagship product - Sirion - is an enterprise class SaaS product which transforms the global sourcing function for large enterprises and reduces costs by more than 15% of ACV. Key features of SM Cloud:

Real-Time Visibility

Given how fast the time-value of information declines, SirionLabs loads information into its analytics platform real-time to manage suppliers proactively, simultaneously allowing access to this data for rich analytics.

Advanced Analytics, In-Memory

Sirion's business-object model breaks down unstructured sourcing data such as complex contracts into uniform, in-memory metadata that can be analyzed much faster and deeper than existing vendor governance or contract management technologies.

Integrated Platform

Sirion's ground-breaking breadth allows companies to manage all the key elements of the supplier management lifecycle from contract to risk management on a unified platform, geared for today's challenges of multi-sourcing and cloud computing.
