In 2018, businesses and consumers are now fully-engulfed by technology and the data it both creates and captures. As procurement leaders continue to automate their processes, the ability to manage large volumes of data presents a great opportunity to provide new and/or transformative value to the organization. In this new era, procurement teams now, more than ever, must continue to extend and enhance their capabilities in order to maintain their momentum and accelerate to the next level of performance. For procurement, this is the dawning of the Age of Intelligence.

With that, we at Ardent Partners invite you to join us on Thursday, April 26 at 2 PM EST, for a complimentary webinar, when we’ll introduce the forthcoming benchmark research report, CPO Rising 2018: The Age of Intelligence (click to register).
