Definition

Legacy systems for supplier risk assessment in procurement technology and strategic sourcing platforms were designed for a pre-cloud, pre-AI era. Modernizing procurement technology including e-procurement platforms, supplier management systems, spend analytics, contract management, and strategic sourcing tools for enterprise purchasing organizations.
