The new year has brought procurement professionals an increasingly complex technology landscape to keep track of, and several new names to remember, too.

No More Ariba Network Prisoners: 75,000 Suppliers (and Counting) are Transacting for Free
December 18, 2017 |Jason BuschandPierre Mitchell

Procurement transformation is usually about incrementalism. For a function that’s fairly conservative — and stands to lose more by making individual mistakes than it stands to gain from individual successes — this is a reasonable approach. But sometimes step changes happen fast. And sometimes, it happens with suppliers to procurement organizations, too. The rapid rise…

自己的E-Procuremen嵌接t Dog Food: Going Live Globally With SAP Ariba in 3 Months — An Interview with Dr. Marcell Vollmer (Part 2)
March 28, 2017 |Jason Busch

After taking over as CPO within SAP, Marcell quickly moved to address the e-procurement issue, owing to his previous laptop shopping experience.
