Your procurement and finance teams may be collaborating on a joint business case for source-to-pay, but truly transforming the business in this Digital Economy requires a third partner: IT. Why?

Is your company there yet? The experts speak. Rich Lazzara, CA Technologies: “Unity is strength... when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved” (Mattie Stepanek). Emily Rakowski, SAP Ariba: “You can always tell when the groove is working or not” (Prince). John Thompson, SAP Ariba: “Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply” (Stephen R. Covey).
