Our clients are among the very best performance- and result-driven enterprises in the world, and they choose GEP because they seek a marked leap in digital innovation, to create greater value from their direct and indirect spend.”

Explaining why GEP was named a leader, Tarun Vaid, lead analyst, ISG Provider Lens, explained, “GEP's comprehensive and integrated portfolio of consulting, software and managed services for the supply chain and purchasing is a key and unique selling point.”
