Scope's procuRx solution combines innovative processes, global best practices, a knowledge repository and significant subject matter expertise. Scope, an ISO 8000 certified master data quality organization, has a team of commodity experts who specialize in domains such as oil & gas, manufacturing, automotive, electrical & electronics, telecom, retail and chemical. Scope's team has significant experience in manufacturing, supply chain, purchasing, quality and spend management. Robust knowledge repositories, developed over 5 years of experience in handling data, support cleansing, de-duplication and standardization of data. Self-learning software algorithms record analysts' behavior in standardization and de-duplication in the knowledge repository to enhance productivity.

Commenting on this milestone, Tram Venkatraman, President of Scope, said, "Scope believes that one of the key differentiators of procuRx is the service-based delivery model which eliminates upfront investments in advanced tools/software by our clients. Scope has already started working on alliances with some of the world's foremost consulting, technology and outsourcing service providers of Fortune 500 clients."
