Art of Procurement study shows procurement is faster than IT when sourcing SaaS

AoP Whitepaper

A recent research-based whitepaper from Art of Procurement (AoP) reveals how software selection and purchasing are managed, plus the opportunities procurement has for process improvement in buying IT — especially SaaS .

Titled ‘SaaS Application and Spend Management 2023’, the paper — written in partnership with Productiv — explores the most frustrating challenges procurement faces with software and SaaS spend, while providing strategies for companies to optimise these processes which will result in improved efficiency, effectiveness, value creation and user satisfaction.

Readers will learn:

  • Which function is actually the fastest when it comes to sourcing SaaS spend —  procurement or IT?
  • How companies assign ownership of software functions, measure the business impact of software investments, and consider process implications
  • Common methods for value measurement and renewal processes

Philip Ideson, Founder & CEO, The Art of Procurement Podcast, will discuss the whitepaper’s findings at PASA’s ProcureTECH ‘24 — the largest independent eProcurement conference in the ANZ region.

In a live online session from Florida titled Procurement’s Great SaaS Spend “Told You So”, Philip will discuss what the findings mean for procurement in the fast-growing ITC spend category, and why the data suggests that procurement is long overdue for a big “I told you so!”

ProcureTECH ‘24 will take place online on 20th and 21st March.
