Big Data for Procurement — Crisis, or Opportunity?

With the rise of business process automation tools, cloud-based applications, mobile solutions, connected devices (i.e., the “Internet of Things”), and Big Data permeating the modern business environment, more data is being created each year than ever before. The result is a world that has become increasingly data-driven, and businesses around the globe have an extraordinary opportunity to capitalize on it. A majority (53%) of Chief Procurement Officers (CPOs) agree. In fact, for the first time, gaining “better data visibility and analytical capabilities” has been identified as the top strategy to help procurement ascend to the next level of performance.
