Investment decisions in the area of indirect procurement, such as IT services, hardware, production machinery or operating resources, account for a significant proportion of purchasing in many companies. On the one hand, such goods and services are not directly incorporated into the products; on the other hand, they are often expensive goods. In order to ensure an appropriate relationship between acquisition and maintenance costs as well as quality, extensive analyses may be necessary — especially if comparability is low.
