Traditional eProcurement has sought to reign in rogue spend through controls and policies, in potential conflict with today’s customer-focused B2B buyers looking for convenience. At a time when customers care most about who you choose as suppliers, organizations that shift procurement focus from enforcement to empowerment can enable smart buying decisions that balance price with value.
Join Amazon Business Principal Solution Consultant, Scott Dewicki and guest speaker, Forrester Vice President, Principal Analyst, Duncan Jones to learn how to:
- Provide B2C usability in a B2B context
- Empower buyers to choose suppliers that meet organizational criteria
- Use smart solutions to replace unreliable manual approvals
