What the webinar covers:

Procurement organizations are tasked with managing vast amounts of supplier data to make process decisions related to sourcing, contracts, purchasing, and/or payments that fall into two categories:

  • Managing primary data like supplier bank accounts, locations, and contacts
  • Ongoing monitoring of your most strategic suppliers which more than likely requires the use of trusted third-party data sources

With the goal of creating one source of supplier truth, how easily you can aggregate these disparate data sources into your existing supplier profiles can make or break the success of any supplier risk, performance, compliance, or regulatory initiative.

So what are the best practices for managing the supplier data challenge in 2022?

During this webinar, special guest speaker Duncan Jones of Forrester shares the leading trends dictating the increased need for improved supplier management and approaches for integrating third party data and tools into your existing source-to-pay processes.
