What is a bridge solution and how can it help speed up the consumerization of services procurement — and why is that important?
桥接解决方案（或停止间隙解决方案）只是解决具体问题的解决方案。这些通常是P2P解决方案尚未解决的问题，因为它们也是太大无际或特定的。桥接解决方案可以不同地解决问题，并且通常与这些解决方案的提供商共同聚焦专业知识和知识。
Although the issue of consumerization certainly isn’t a niche one, there are many individual aspects that need to be addressed and automated to make true consumerization a possibility. For example, the larger more end-to-end P2P solutions (such as Coupa) do a fantastic job at automating the requisition-to-approval process and invoicing, but what they are not doing is providing the tools to automate the piece before the requisition gets raised. Bridge solutions can essentially act as a plug-in to cover any areas that are still being handled offline or by heavy manual data entry.
