However, strategic sourcing is a larger concept that aims to improve the procurement process of your business and ensure the lowest cost for the whole process.American International Group, Inc. Sourcing is simply the process of identifying the suitable suppliers for your business to procure products and services at the optimal price. You will also see a difference between two terms – sourcing and strategic sourcing. You will have to factor in the total sourcing cost, including the price for creating contracts, time factors, and transportations, not just the direct purchase cost.
