在第1部分AI在供应商管理中的应用:明天在这里，我们将人工智能定义为辅助智能(因为，正如我们已经讨论过的，在今天的企业平台中没有真正的人工智能，明天也不会有)。人工智能只是一个时髦词，并非现实。但我们并不需要真正的人工智能来实现能够从根本上提高我们生产力的软件。获得辅助情报将大大提高我们的效率和效力。
In our last article, we discussed how tomorrow’s supplier management platforms will offer smart, automatic, supplier profile update (suggestions) — taking the headaches out of profile maintenance that results in most profiles being out of date in a supplier management system shortly after they are created; market-based supplier intelligence that is more in line and reflective with reality — and not just the experience of an anomalous customer subset; and real-time relationship monitoring that paints a relatively full picture of the relationship, not just a point-based performance picture.
那么，未来的平台还能做些什么来帮助你更专注于供应商管理的战略层面呢?让我们看看下面三个方面:
-自动创建、监控和调整解决方案
-自动识别风险缓解战略
-优化实时资源调整
