Effectively Ramping Up Digital Procurement and ESG Initiatives

It’s been a long 2+ years with many global changes brought forth by the Covid pandemic. It’s not been all bad, with many organizations prioritizing investment in procurement digitization and ESG/GRC initiatives. If you are tasked with advancing your organization’s procurement and/or ESG practices through technology, how do you best go about finding the right procurement tech and vendor partners to reinvigorate 2022?

Attendees of this session will walk away with:

Advancements in procurement technologies and adoption of next-generation applications

In response to the pandemic, organisations globally doubled down on technology investments. Seven in 10 boards of directors have accelerated their digital business initiatives in the wake of COVID-19 disruption. Procurement technology vendors have also continued to advance capabilities to enable their customers. With a rapidly evolving technology landscape, procurement functions must ensure they are taking advantage of the options available to them and seize the opportunity while it lasts.
This session will cover:
• The changing procurement technology landscape
• Where procurement functions are investing in 2022 and beyond
• What’s next once core technologies have been implemented

What are the key success criteria to ensure the implementation of procurement technology achieves the business objectives and is delivered on time and to budget

Organisations are increasingly seeking to implement technology to enable their procurement transformations. Recent research has found that only 29 percent of IT project implementations are successful, and 19 percent are considered utter failures.

Some of the key criteria for the implementation of a successful procurement technology include having clear understanding of the buying ‘operating model’ and how the technology will enable the business to achieve its business case objective. And adopting a continuous improvement mindset during the implementation and post-go live will help to support a high degree of ‘user adoption’ which is considered to be a significant measure of success.

Understand how to :
1. Define your procurement operating model to enable your desired business outcome
2. Adopt a continuous improvement approach and mindset
3. Utilise USER adoption is a key metric of success – are your users set up for success?

The benefits of e-invoicing and why 2022 is the best time to embrace it

Like most office workers, how procurement work changed much during the Covid pandemic over the last 18 months – working from home has also accelerated our march towards the paperless office.

So – why do we still often insist on paper invoices? Should they not all be electronic too now?

Hear the ATO task-force explain all things e-invoicing, including all the PROS and CONS :
• What is e-invoicing exactly, how does it work in practice and what are the benefits?
• Find out how easy it is to;
o get started quickly
o and incorporate e-invoicing into all P2P systems to begin your e-invoicing journey

The digital implications of the new Payment Times Reporting Act

The new Payment Times Reporting Act 2020 (PTRA) became law on 1st January 2021 as part of the fiscal response to the Covid pandemic.

It places firm obligations on large organisations (over $100m REV) to better manage the way they pay small suppliers (SMEs under $10m REV) in a more supportive way – initially by reporting on how quickly (or slowly) they pay their small suppliers.

Yet, the new law comes with a raft of requirements with significant technical implications, including reconfiguring or reprogramming largescale P2P systems and cross-matching data with official government SME supplier lists. No easy task for most.

This session will quickly guide you through the DOs and DONTs of this issue and the technical implications within a P2P framework, which most large organisations are grappling with right now.

How Universal Connected Commerce can Unleash Procurement Automation In A Post Pandemic Era

The global pandemic has exposed weaknesses across all supply chains. Demand for real-time data, particularly around tendering, pricing, stock availability and lead times is required to make fast and accurate sourcing and buying decisions.

Complex IT integration headaches often supress the ROI derived from procurement intelligence and automation, as there is no common framework that can bridge all customer/supplier relationships.

To date, there has been no universal way for customers and suppliers to independently connect, collaborate, trade and automate with each other.

The new SQUIZZ.com platform is an example of a new cloud based universal e-commerce system which works on the premise of ‘integrate once, connect and trade with everyone connected’.
