efficiency, cross-functional collaboration and cost savings.
"Increasingly, companies rely on procurement to help drive their
businesses forward, foster resilience and make their investments
count," said John Wookey, president,
SAP Intelligent Spend Management and Business Network. "Procurement
leaders know the only way to get visibility and insight into every
spend decision is to leverage the power of the cloud and unify
spend management processes on a single platform. Our team is
relentlessly focused on helping our customers achieve spend
management excellence that drives cost savings and innovation while
fueling deeper collaboration with trading partners — and that
ultimately advances their financial, operational, environmental and
social goals."
