Futureproofing your S2P Strategy: Solution Ecosystem vs. Single Suite
After years of hearing that “end-to-end is king” and that it’s more streamlined to have a single solution to cover everything from sourcing through to payments, leading analyst firms are suggesting an alternative to Source-to-Pay (S2P) strategies: holistic ecosystems, which encourage the use of “best-of-breed” solutions at each stage of the S2P process - all unified around a central core of data visibility.
In this webinar, we explore with guest-speaker Duncan Jones from Forrester what to consider when building your S2P strategy and which success factors you need to keep in mind. Our panelist speakers from Sievo and Sirion Labs and the co-host Basware will share best-practice use-cases for when an ecosystem approach is your best choice and how you bring it to life in practice.
You will learn:
- What characterizes the ecosystem strategy vs. single-suite approach?
- Conclusions from the latest market data to help influence and manage different stakeholder needs
- Planning for S2P success today and in the future
- Use cases for a modular ecosystem approach with examples from Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM), Spend Analytics, Accounts Payable & P2P
