How the Intelligent Enterprise Is Reshaping Direct Spend and Supply Chains

By some estimates, the world generates 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day. Yet only a sliver of that volume, much of it residing on enterprise servers, is fully leveraged to drive a deep understanding of the enterprise and how to improve it. What value lies untapped within all that data? As business leaders grapple with these questions, they rely increasingly on emerging cognitive technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning and blockchain. When these technologies are coupled with cloud-based multi-enterprise networks, thought-leading companies are able to unearth, analyze and act upon critical insights across business lines and foster the emergence of intelligent enterprises.
