Council Post: Emerging Technologies In Supply Management To Consider Investing In

Founder and CEO of PLANERGY, with decades of international experience in Procurement, Spend Management and Technology. As companies move to center procurement as a major source of strategic insights, continuous improvement and value creation, the technologies that are redefining core procurement functions such as supply chain management are increasing in both disruptive power and importance. The technologies that initially defined digital transformation -- artificial intelligence, process automation and deep analytics powered by machine learning -- are continuing to evolve, even as new technologies rise to augment and complement their capabilities. Looking ahead, it's clear that companies who want to compete effectively in the digital marketplace of tomorrow will need to give serious consideration to -- and make significant investments in -- these new technologies today. Operating both efficiently and effectively requires a flexible and resilient supply chain.
