Companies are in unchartered waters and are looking for a quick way to turn things around and not pass these costs on to their clients. How they deal with this crisis in decades will decide the winner.
Spend analytics plays a crucial role by providing impactful data-driven insights to manage cost and risk. Unfortunately, such insights are hard to come by and have been promised by procurement products, that offer basic, out-of-the-box,rule-based reporting for a single data source. What is also clear is that companies don't need a whole new data platform built from the ground up, with several years to deliver or no end in sight.
