Nieuwsbericht Basecamp Solutions
06-03-2009 >BaseCamp Solutions is een nieuwe speler in de wereld van sourcing en kosten management. BaseCamp Solutions is opgericht door ervaren sourcing professionals die komen uit verschillende (inter)nationale organisaties die hebben bewezen op sourcing gebied ‘World Class Excellence’ te zijn.
Het doel van BaseCamp Solutions is om organisaties te ontzorgen op het gebied van sourcing en kosten management door de gedeeltelijke of gehele NPR sourcing onderdelen binnen organisaties over te nemen. Hierdoor kan de eigen organisatie zich concentreren op haar core business en tegelijkertijd de sourcing organisatie verder professioneel ontwikkelen. Daarbij zorgt BaseCamp Solutions voor inzicht in de kosten en het structureel verlagen en onder controle krijgen en houden van deze kosten.
Zo bestaat de dienstverlening van BaseCamp Solutions uit onder andere het uitvoeren van allerlei specifieke sourcing benchmarks[1], het overnemen van het beheer van inkoopcontracten, het verrichten van inkoopprojecten, het oplossen en implementeren van sourcing vraagstukken, tot aan het in z’n geheel overnemen van de sourcing onderdelen binnen organisaties. Dit laatste vindt plaats door middel van een gefaseerde aanpak, waardoor risico’s en kosten volledig onder controle zijn.
Zeker in deze economisch uitdagende tijd is een hernieuwde focus op de sourcing mogelijkheden om hiermee een bijdrage te leveren aan het bedrijfsresultaat (waaronder kostenbesparingen) zinvol. Hierin kan BaseCamp Solutions een wezenlijke bijdrage leveren.
De oplossingen van BaseCamp Solutions kenmerken zich door pragmatiek, verfrissende aanpak en werkbaarheid. Bovendien streeft BaseCamp Solutions naar resultaat-verplichtingen (zoals no-cure-no-pay) hetgeen aangeeft dat BaseCamp Solutions gelooft in haar capaciteiten en mogelijkheden tot verbetering op het gebied van sourcing en kosten management binnen organisaties.
Deze combinatie van resultaatgerichtheid en een echte ‘doe-mentaliteit’ ziet BaseCamp Solutions als een garantie tot succes.

‘Green’ energy market to grow to £50bn
‘Green’ energy market to grow to £50bn

A market worth more than £50bn will be created for new wind, wave and tidal power equipment in British waters by 2020, the head of the new government-backed energy research and development group has said.
David Clarke, chief executive of the Energy Technologies Institute, will on Tuesday launch the first four projects backed by the group, which aims to encourage the commercial development of low-carbon energy sources including renewables, electric vehicles and power stations that capture and store carbon dioxide emissions.
The ETI, based at Loughborough University, is still backed by just six companies instead of the 11 that the government hoped for. Each company has promised to contribute £50m over 10 years.
Mr Clarke told the Financial Times it was “clearly challenging to find new partners in the present climate”.
However, he added that the ETI was “in discussion with a number of groups” and it would be easier to persuade them to sign up now that there was so much emphasis on low-carbon industries as a source of future jobs and economic growth.
Creating jobs and developing a UK manufacturing base in energy industries is not the principal objective of the ETI, which has been set up to develop new sources of energy supply for consumers.
Four of its six members have foreign parents – Royal Dutch Shell, Eon of Germany, EDF of France and Caterpillar of the US – and the other two, BP and Rolls-Royce, are UK-based multinationals. Moreover, the companies that receive grants from the institute need not be British.
However, Mr Clarke, who attended Gordon Brown’s jobs summit on Monday morning, said it would be “a great bonus” if the ETI could help create a thriving UK industry in both manufacturing and servicing products such as wind turbines.
He estimated that to meet government targets, about 4,000 offshore wind turbines and 2,000 wave or tidal power devices would have to be installed by 2020, at a cost of £50bn or more.
He added: “The sheer volume of the change that we are talking about in the UK energy system is so great that the number of jobs involved is bound to be very significant.”
The first four projects to be unveiled today, three in offshore wind and one in wave or tidal power, will receive a total of £60m in funding from the ETI.
Its target is to find ways to cut the cost of these relatively expensive sources of electricity so that they can better compete with coal and gas-fired power stations.
