In our series of New Year wishes (rather than predictions) for the procurement, supply and services market for the year ahead (read more about it here），今天我们听到了苏珊沃尔什，Owner and Fou弯曲TheClassification Guru,数据分类和清洁专家。

My 3 wishes 2022:

1. Data quality becomes an investment, not a cost

对于太长，数据被视为成本，因为很难量化它很少得到它需要保持清洁，准确和相关的注意力。我主要处理已经陷入困境的数据，这些客户在他们的数据中导致业务中的其他地方，这是他们唯一可以获得资金以改善他们的数据。

I’d like decision-makers to start viewing data quality as an investment, those in the know understand that by investing upfront to keep data clean and accurate, it can save thousands, if not millions in the long run, and that’s just the financial value, not the time involved by their own employees trying to fix and clean the data.

2.数据有外套

I would love to hear more organizations talking about having their data COAT on. This means that their data is:

• Consistent - 例如使用相同的日期格式，测量单位或流程
• ORggorized - 使您的数据很容易找到衣柜中的衣服。按类别，区域，部门，部门或类别等类别对其进行排序，以便能够快速提取信息
• Accurate–数据必须适合于目的，并准确于手头的任务
• Trustworthy.–once you have the C, O and A, you then have trustworthy data and can report back to your organization, confident that they will make better business decisions

通过实施这一理念，它将有助于保持数据干净和准确，抵消一些导致企业支付清理的问题。

3.数据分类/分类成为优先级

The power of data classification is hugely underrated. And I’m not just talking about spend analytics, spend management or cost savings. It can help with supplier diversity, sustainability and responsible sourcing – all hot topics right now:

• 想知道哪些供应商是多种多样的？分类他们。
• Want to know if a supplier has a modern slavery act in place, or operations in countries with poor human rights legislation? Classify them.
• Want to know if a supplier uses sustainable materials in their products? Classify them.

这些是我的三个愿望2022，通过执行这些东西，它将帮助组织更有效地运行，推动盈利能力，而且不仅仅是对自己的数据和花费的更多可见性，而且还有更多的能力。

My 3 wishes 2022:

2. The final obstacles to AP automation get removed

AP automation had been on a slow and steady rise, until the last 18 months, when the pandemic forced many businesses to quickly update their manual, paper-based payment processes. I think 2022 will carry that momentum forward as more buyers look to convert more payments to electronic methods and take advantage of all the other efficiencies AP automation provides. To do so, businesses need to work with their solution providers to onboard suppliers to accept digital payments and give their suppliers a choice in how they get paid to make it a win-win for both sides.

2. Suppliers get an equal seat at the table in B2B relationships

在2021年带来了许多供应链中断attention to the strategic importance of supplier relationships for many businesses. This was especially true in industries like healthcare where the steady flow of supplies is essential to delivering critical services. Accurate, timely payments are key to those relationships. This will give suppliers more say in how they get paid as organizations focus on keeping their businesses moving forward and preventing future supply chain vulnerabilities.

3.企业利用AP系统中的大量数据

As businesses continue to automate their AP function, they gain access to a treasure trove of data that can help them accelerate their modernization efforts — by forecasting cash flow more accurately, predicting payment fraud, analyzing payment and receivables trends, and understanding which payment methods cause the most or least problems with suppliers. The result can be more confident strategic decision-making, improved operational control, and a better understanding of customer and supplier needs.

Thanks to The Classification Guru and MineralTree and look out for the remainder of our solution and services provider wishes/predictions later this week with an overall take on the series from our analyst at the end.查看更多供应商预测和愿望。
