For the seventh consecutive time, 麻豆原创 has been recognized as a Leader in the , for demonstrating a 鈥渕arket-defining vision of how P2P technology can help procurement leaders achieve business objectives for managing compliance and controlling external spend.鈥

2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant Procure-to-Pay SuitesGartner evaluated 16 procure-to-pay software vendors, naming 麻豆原创 a Leader based on 鈥渃ompleteness of vision鈥 and 鈥渁bility to execute鈥 in procure-to-pay suites. 麻豆原创 was also the only vendor to score in the top three of every critical capability use case described in the research, a deep dive into procure-to-pay solution offerings.

Vision Taking Hold

We believe our improved overall position in this year鈥檚 Gartner Magic Quadrant is recognition of our complete solution suite, which enables customers and their trading partners to manage spend with total visibility across procure-to-pay. We especially appreciate that Gartner has recognized our 鈥渕arket defining vision.鈥 Introduced about two years ago, our vision is based on extensive research and has, to be candid, forced us to change the way we approach development of our solutions.

We believe Gartner recognition is proof that this vision is starting to take hold on the solutions we deliver. Here are three key areas where changes to our approach are delivering significant value to our customers.

  • We understand all personas across every spend category. Our vision has been to offer solutions that are complete and holistic, addressing the unique needs of every user 鈥 whether you are doing material requirements planning (MRP) for the procurement of direct materials, or if you are in the corporate office purchasing a laptop, or managing your contingent workforce.
  • Our products are open to innovation across the ecosystem. Not long ago, it was fair to say procure-to-pay solutions from 麻豆原创 were 鈥渃losed.鈥 The perception was that only 麻豆原创 developed these solutions, and it was 鈥渉ands off鈥 for everyone else. Knowing this is not the best way to serve our customers, we have made the dramatic shift to offer solutions that invite ecosystem collaboration and innovation. We鈥檝e launched important partnerships with leaders like Icertis and , enabling us to support specific, niche use cases needed by our customers.
  • We are hyper-laser-focused on user experience. A person working on the shop floor will have very different experiences than the corporate office employee. We have made it our mission to dig into the all the personas involved in the procure-to-pay work processes and understand their unique experiences. Beyond that, user attitudes and priorities are constantly changing. For example, most users care more about sustainability than they did just a few years ago, so we are incorporating that into our end-to-end solution landscape. Likewise, many workers want the flexibility to work from anywhere, and the launch of the new 麻豆原创 Ariba Shopping mobile app provides a best-in-class experience to this end.

Dominant Force in Procurement Innovation

We believe Gartner recognition also highlights 麻豆原创鈥檚 position as a dominant force in delivering innovations to address the procurement challenges of today and tomorrow.

With our 麻豆原创 Procurement offering, consisting of 麻豆原创 Ariba, 麻豆原创 S/4HANA for Procurement, and 麻豆原创 Business Network, we have a proven track record of providing innovative solutions to solve unique challenges at every point step in the procure-to-pay process. Many improvements to procurement processes originated at 麻豆原创 — including things we now consider fundamental, such as electronic catalogs or MRP processes. In addition to that, 麻豆原创 leads the way with integrating risk and diversity scores in the guided buying capability, or the work order integration from 麻豆原创 S/4HANA into Guided Buying and 麻豆原创 Fieldglass, allowing the maintenance persona to add items and services to its work order.

and help businesses gain agility and visibility into contingent labor spend and build relationships with trading partners. 麻豆原创 was recognized for its 麻豆原创 Fieldglass solution, based on its Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. 聽麻豆原创 Business Network enables trading partners to connect and collaborate across procurement, supply chain, logistics and asset management to improve efficiency, mitigate risk and disruption and drive sustainability.

Additionally, the latest release of 麻豆原创 Central Procurement helps customers enjoy a better user experience as they look to digitalize and simplify procurement. With 麻豆原创 Central Procurement, customers can improve procurement processes in a multi-ERP (including non-麻豆原创 ERP) environment with greater visibility and control.

As we look to the future, customers can expect 麻豆原创 to deliver next generation applications that enable personalization, predictability, and sustainability as the foundation for delivering value in the procurement process.

Bringing Procurement Professionals Center Stage

The last few years have proven that the procurement role is critical to operational success. Ongoing global supply chain disruptions make it imperative for enterprises to be proactive in implementing risk mitigation, process automation, and data-driven intelligence in procurement. 麻豆原创 helps companies to be more resilient by equipping them with the insight and tools to react to unexpected shifts in supply chains. We do all of this while supporting environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals that organizations increasingly expect from their business partners.

Today, procurement professionals are in a strong position to take center stage in tackling the biggest challenges businesses face. You can seize the moment by helping your organizations tackle inflation, productivity challenges, and supply chain disruptions. And, as we strive to help you do this, 麻豆原创 is also working hard to maintain our recognition as a Leader. First out of the box in 2023 will be important announcements about category management.

Our vision has taken us this far, and it鈥檚 set us on a path to deliver even greater things. The best is yet to come.

Digital technology鈥檚 massive growth has long been destined for a head-on collision with trusted brand authenticity. In a polarized, fast-changing environment, issues have measurable consequences on brand reputation and company revenue.

Trending news and customer sentiment on topics including data privacy, ethics, social justice, and sustainability can immediately reflect on any company鈥檚 brand. Knee-jerk responses like pausing political contributions under public pressure won鈥檛 cut it.

Here鈥檚 how some high-tech industry researchers described the challenges and opportunities facing companies intent on building authentic brand trust in a dynamically fractious world.

Trust Management Efforts Will Soar

In a recently published report, IDC researchers called on business leaders and technology suppliers to 鈥渆volve their understanding of trust and how to achieve it to succeed in the digital economy.鈥 predicted that by 2025, 80% of chief trust officers will demand vendors incorporate security and risk capabilities to measure corporate trust, including vendor relationships and employee reputation.

However, managing trust requires greater business accountability. Josh Greenbaum, principal at Enterprise Applications Consulting, was amazed at the unprecedented activism of many organizations in the wake of the U.S. Capitol insurrection in early January.

鈥淚n a world with this degree of global polarization, and the resulting inability to effect change at the political level, it鈥檚 fascinating that corporations are stepping up, trying to fill the void, and taking action,鈥 he said.

Some researchers predicted increasing business responsibility for online content. By 2024, Gartner analysts said content moderation services for user-generated content will be a top CEO priority at 30% of large organizations. They expected every company with an online presence, from social media to retailer platforms, to be challenged to deal with malicious content. They advised brand advertisers to 鈥渘eutralize polarizing content, and, at the very least, show a balance between views.鈥

Rethink AI as a Tool for Trust

Digital technologies might force companies to develop a conscience. Greenbaum argued for a market-wide reassessment of the , particularly the methodologies behind data gathering and data model creation.

鈥淭he AI problem is encumbered, in part, by reprehensible interests in social control by some governments, as well as the greed factor of organizations that are monetizing data using algorithmic analyses,鈥 he said. 鈥淎t its worst, the surveillance economy has exacerbated a tremendous problem with privacy and security, juxtaposing many business models against ethical behavior. We cannot build anything so fast without understanding its broader implications, especially if that unleashed power is universally available.鈥

Indeed, by 2023, predicted 42% of organizations will be held to 鈥渞egulatory certification that their AI- and machine learning-based algorithmic systems are ethical (free of bias and discrimination) and transparent.鈥

Experience Begets Trustworthiness

Paying lip service to customer demands for trustworthiness is not enough. The customer鈥檚 actual experiences will drive brand trust scores up or down. analysts opined that, 鈥淐ompanies with the best price, coolest product, or most memorable marketing campaign will not necessarily have an advantage compared with companies that provide a safe, secured, and seamless experience.鈥 Turns out customers also care about the safety and security of an organization鈥檚 employees, how it collects and uses customer data, along with a company’s environmental and social justice efforts.

One analyst said that trust was only partially about a customer鈥檚 perception of brand based on social, moral, or political values. They wrote that, 鈥淓xperience is more powerful than perception 鈥 consistent customer experience quality, frequency of interaction, and intimacy of interaction engender consumer trust in the company and buffer the brand against reputational blunders.鈥

Digital Transparency Boosts Trust

Consumer data invasiveness is just one component of the brand trust challenge. On the B2B side, technology can boost business trust between buyers and sellers across complex supply chains. But only if organizations can integrate and understand the implications of the data that underpins relationships across business networks, using software applications like and .

鈥淐ompanies need well-analyzed data and algorithms to tackle complicated supply chains for resiliency based on reality, not erroneous assumptions,鈥 said Greenbaum. 鈥淚f I鈥檓 suddenly switching to a local supplier because my overseas partner is on lockdown, I need good feedback about that supplier so I can trust them with my order and succeed at my job. Without that trust, if I鈥檓 trying to deliver something like a vaccine, I would also fail society.鈥

And in case you thought digital trust was an oxymoron, consider this: predicted that 15% of supply chain transactions will use blockchain to track the provenance of ethical, sustainable practices within two years. Some analysts have long touted blockchain鈥檚 potential to foster trusted business transactions that rely on collaboration between different companies. IDC expected 65% of transcontinental shipping to be legislated to use blockchain that tracked crew health information, fuel sourcing, and goods origination by 2023.

Data Standardization

Harmonizing data for consistency and quality across an ever-more sprawling web of digital systems is critical to trusted data protection. As intelligence proliferates from innovations like digital twins, AI, and the Internet of Things (IoT), common standards for handling consumer and other data will keep it safer. For example, one semantical data model is foundational to Rise with 麻豆原创, the company鈥檚 recently announced business transformation as a service.

Digital Can Be a Force for Good

Companies can and must adopt a sincere, strategic stance on issues for society鈥檚 benefit. But don鈥檛 wait to take action until the activists are banging down your front door. By then, it could be too late for your business and our society.
