Coupa Exec Connect

Join your executive peers for an exclusive networking event on what TCO means when evaluating cloud based procurement technology, featuring Stefan Schingnitz, IT Global Purchasing Systems, BMW and Eric Tan, VP Business Services & IT, Coupa.

Optimise your TCO with Coupa

2021 poses a very different landscape for IT leaders tasked with transforming the business, and selecting the best technology is essential. Budget utilisation plays a key role in this process but how can IT leaders ensure they are being smart when it comes to evaluating procurement solutions? In short, how do you choose between value versus cost? At Coupa we believe the answer to this question should be closely tied to Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

On Thursday, October 7th, Coupa is hosting a select group of IT leaders to explore what TCO means when evaluating cloud based procurement technology and to debate the best approach to deliver results.

During this invite only event, Stefan Schingnitz, IT Global Purchasing Systems, BMW, will discuss the advantages of moving procurement to the cloud from simplifying deployment, maximising operations, driving innovation, and achieving sustainability.

You’ll also hear from Eric Tan, Vice President, Business Services and IT, Coupa, and Peter Truman, Director, Global Technical Architecture Consulting, Coupa, to discuss the merits of value over cost, amongst exploring other areas, including:

  • The TCO benefits of moving to the cloud from current trends to setting KPIs
  • What to consider when optimising procurement in the cloud
  • How to effectively measure TCO and deliver value


This event has limited space, to ensure there will be plenty of opportunities for networking, interaction, and learning.

We look forward to welcoming you!
