Overview!
Every year, big data for supply chain & procurement seems to get bigger, with more and
more diverse types of data being created and streaming into the typical procurement organization and presenting CPOs and their teams with immense opportunities to create value
across the enterprise.
But it’s not that simple. Many CPOs and procurement teams are overwhelmed with the sheer volume, intensity, and diversity of data today, and struggle just to
manage that data, let alone leverage it for better insights.
If CPOs and their teams can overcome the management and analytic challenges of big data
for procurement (ideally by adopting automated solutions, and standardizing and linking their
processes), then they will be well positioned to extract value from their data and drive that
value across the enterprise.
