- 60% of procurement leaders report greater cost savings goals expected this year compared to 2020
- 73% of procurement leaders say the importance of sourcing speed has increased
Procurement played a key role in reducing costs and navigating the new supply chain realities of the last year. Now, it can lead the organization in accelerating growth and meeting new strategic challenges. Learn how you can gain visibility, accelerate productivity, and drive agility with digital purchasing.
