Professional services procurement often ranks among the top three categories of indirect spend for companies. And yet, this segment remains largely under-managed, difficult to control, scattered across unsuitable tools, and driven by inconsistent practices.
To tackle these very real challenges, we partnered with the Conseil National des Achats (CNA) to launch a unique series of three webinars, held on October, November and December 2025.
The goal is simple: provide clear, practical answers to the recurring questions that procurement teams and business stakeholders face every day:
Why add yet another tool?
What does a VMS really bring to the table?
And above all… will the business teams actually adopt it?
Each session features an unfiltered client testimonial to show how a VMS can truly transform procurement performance.

A 3-part webinar series to let the field speak
Too often, procurement tools are seen as “designed by procurement, for procurement,” offering little perceived value to business stakeholders. And too often, digital transformation projects stall due to lack of adoption. It’s with this reality in mind that we designed this webinar series in partnership with the CNA.
To deliver a format rooted in real-world experience, each session is built around a live client testimonial, from an organization that has implemented Eleven VMS and is now seeing tangible results.
These sessions are co-hosted by an Eleven VMS expert and a hands-on user, bringing together strategic and operational perspectives.
With these short, interactive, and concrete formats, our goal is clear: to help procurement departments move from manual, fragmented processes to strategic, structured management of this critical spend category, using a tool designed for the realities of the field.
A first webinar with TotalEnergies: streamlining operational efficiency with a VMS
This first episode in our series, organized in partnership with the biggest french procurement professionals association, the Conseil National des Achats (CNA), highlighted a concrete and inspiring client story: TotalEnergies, a global group facing the challenges of managing professional services on a large scale.
Quentin Saint-Maxent, Sales Manager France at Eleven VMS, was joined by Yohann Galap, Global Category Manager at TotalEnergies, to discuss how a VMS can significantly streamline operational efficiency.
Yohann Galap gave a transparent overview of the key phases of the VMS project at TotalEnergies, from the initial scoping and deployment to full adoption by internal users.

Getting to the heart of real-world experience
With this webinar series created in partnership with the Conseil National des Achats (CNA), our goal is clear: to give the floor back to those in the field, those who lead, deploy, test, and transform the day-to-day management of professional services.
Each episode is an opportunity to understand why a VMS makes a real difference, how it fits into existing procurement processes, and most importantly, what users actually gain from it: operational efficiency, stronger collaboration with business teams, enhanced visibility, and better-informed decision-making.

Eleven VMS & the CNA, more than just a webinar series, it's a collective effort to guide procurement teams toward more structure, more strategy, and more impact.
