Jon Hansen (pi Window On The World)

I would once again like to welcome from Buyers Meeting Point to share information of this week's events and news from the world of purchasing, Kelly Barner. NOTE: In this week's guest soundbite, Jaime Burkart, a project manager at Source One, revisits their 2013 prediction about the impact of the Affordable Care Act on companies in general and the procurement function in specific. We are also introducing a new feature on the program which focuses on the stories making headlines, as well as provide our take on the M&A activity from this past year including whether or not they have delivered the expected outcomes.
