What does Business Spend Management have to do with IT pain and digital transformation?

What does Business Spend Management have to do with digital transformation?

Mission critical ERP systems are great for some applications, but they’re not always perfect for procurement. In highly regulated environments, it’s even more critical that you have complete confidence in the systems you put in place that your business relies on for full management and visibility of their spend. You’ll hear from the IT Director at Ally Financial about why they ripped off the Ariba Band-Aid and completely transformed their organization.

During this session, you will find out why Ally Financial and other customers no longer need to choose between new feature adoption and stabilization. With Coupa BSM they now have:

  • A common data model, services and UI/UX across a platform that requires no integration or coding to make multiple procurement, sourcing, and finance applications work together.
  • An open architecture and straightforward approach to integrations that enables deployments to go-live and deliver value in months rather than years.
  • A multi-tenant architecture with a no-code customization approach, eliminating any heavy burden on your IT teams to deliver innovation to your end users.
  • Intuitive UX for employees and suppliers. Without usage, savings can’t be realized and visibility is limited.

The best part is that drinks are on us! After the session, you will be guided through an interactive, educational tequila tasting of “All Things Agave”. Then you will learn how to craft the perfect margarita and get ready for summer.

The session is limited to a select group of IT leaders, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities for networking to become smarter, together.
