Which of the following is the BEST justification for a procurement manager to agree to purchase IT equipment from a specific vendor during a sales promotion?
A.
The IT benefit surpasses the business benefit from the purchase
B.
The business profit surpasses the IT cost for the equipment
D. The equipment adds value to the enterprise.
While options A, B, and C touch upon various aspects of cost, benefits, and profit, the primary concern for a procurement manager should be ensuring that the purchase adds value to the enterprise.
Choosing a vendor based solely on the lowest price (option C) may not necessarily result in the best value for the enterprise. It's crucial to consider factors beyond cost, such as the quality of the equipment, vendor reliability, after-sales service, warranty terms, and how well the equipment aligns with the organization's needs and long-term objectives.
Options A and B hint at the comparison between IT benefits, business benefits, IT costs, and business profits. While these are relevant considerations, the overarching goal is to ensure that the purchase contributes positively to the enterprise's overall value proposition.
Therefore, option D, stating that the equipment adds value to the enterprise, is the BEST justification for a procurement manager to agree to purchase IT equipment during a sales promotion.
