Markit Shortlisted for World Procurement Awards 2020

​​​​​​​This is exciting and welcome news for a couple of reasons!

• It’s the first time an Estonian company has got to the finals of The World Procurement Awards. 
  
  
• It’s the first time a vertical category (indirect IT in our case) supplier has been shortlisted (as far as we know). 

The World Procurement Awards is the “Oscars” of our industry and so we’d like to say a few thankyous: 

• To all our clients. It’s your success in using Markit to save your companies time and money that has made this possible. In 2019, our 9500+ clients in 34 countries saved an average of 12.5% on IT product prices plus numerous time & efficiency gains in IT purchasing processes, worth millions. 
  
  
• To our Markiteers. It’s our hard work ability to help our clients succeed that make our clients’ results so special and worthy of consideration for a world class award. Our clients gave us 64.5% Net Promoter Score in 2019 (that’s impressive!). We deserve a pat on the back, all 134 of us.
  
  
• To the WPA judges. Thank you for looking beyond horizontal solution providers and have the insight to recognise that the ability to create significant time and money savings in the indirect IT category is an area worthy of shortlisting for the P2P Specialist Provider Award.

And on top of that, one of our major clients, Danfoss has also been shortlisted – for the External Collaboration Award.
