Defining Predictive Procurement Orchestration (PPO)

PPO is the latest evolution of digital procurement; it represents the true digital transformation of procurement as it leverages technology to do things that were previously impossible. But, how did we get here?

The Digital Era

The Self-Service Era

2010 – 2015

Procurement on the Cloud. The rise of Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) systems. No need to install/maintain software. The procurement software provider provides data encryption and updates.
