Elevating Customer Loyalty to the Next Level: The Transformative Impact Of Integrating People and Technology.
LinkedIn
January 20, 2023
The world is evolving at an accelerating rate, and businesses and governments are facing a significant challenge: how to adapt to technology and changing consumer behavior. Outdated methods such as behavioral science, AI, and personalization are no longer enough (yes, these are now traditional methods, like using a flip phone or sending a fax). But what if there was a method to motivate customers to act for a bigger good in addition to attracting and keeping them as customers? To do this, behavior products are developed using technologies that are currently available, frequently utilized, and established.

Jaggaer
March 16, 2022
In short, autonomous commerce is making buying crucial goods or services for your business as easy as shopping online.

eCommerce connects a world of buyers and sellers together. Giving smart match recommendations, fast shipping, seamless returns and an excellent UX. Not only do the buyers benefit from the ease of use and endless options, but the sellers do too, with access to a new pool of willing buyers. Autonomous Commerce takes that same foundation and applies it to enterprise commerce.

How AI is Changing the World of Contract Creation and Management

As we begin 2021, artificial intelligence remains at the forefront of many procurement conversations. The largest value of AI comes from enhancing current processes and optimizing internal operations. AI also drives better decision-making by supplementing human knowledge, aggregating data, and making intelligent predictions. We see these value drivers at every stage of the procurement cycle, but perhaps most strongly in contract management.

Solving the Digital Adoption Crisis
JAGGAER
April 08, 2021
The problem is that the piece that usually gets all the attention is technology.

Technology is new, it’s exciting, grabs headlines, but technology doesn’t solve problems. People using technology do.

The most advanced solutions in the world aren’t good for much without the people and processes in place to use them.

Digital adoption is so important, especially today when digital transformation is such a significant investment.

Technology can be complicated though, and often very misunderstood. Many people don’t embrace digital solutions because they think that eventually it could lessen the impact of their role or even make it redundant.

Intelligent Procurement: The Final Frontier or a Step Towards Something Greater?
Jaggaer
January 19, 2021
I’ve been writing a lot about the idea of autonomous procurement lately, something that I am very passionate about. People often misinterpret autonomous procurement to be ‘machines and robots taking jobs’, ultimately leading to the death of human procurement jobs. This could not be further from the truth.

For a more in-depth analysis, you can read this blog on the subject, but in short, autonomous procurement is all about the collaboration of humans and technology, using the power of AI to cut out routine tasks and open the doors to a more strategic and value adding procurement function.

In a word, it will help technology leaders prove that people are the most valuable asset of the ‘Golden Triangle’ (People, Process, Technology).

It will mean a transformation of the procurement industry, shifting the focus from cost to value, and demanding procurement professionals to become strategic instead of tactical, and comfortable with making data driven decisions.

Augmented Procurement is Making the Future Our New Reality
JAGGAER
August 25, 2020
Technology has been augmenting everyday life for quite some time now, but procurement has historically been slower in adopting the technological leaps seen outside of the industry. Now this idea of augmented procurement – and eventually autonomous procurement – has surfaced, and many are asking when the change will happen, and more importantly what it means for them.

To answer that let’s take a step back. Think about your house for a moment. How many smart devices do you have? How many smart devices do family members or friends have? Smart TVs, Alexa, Google Home, Siri, Cortana, the list really does go on and on. This technology was revolutionary when it first arrived, and now most people are empowering their day to day activities and simplifying their lives. Now, just imagine that technology specifically tailored to procurement. It must be years off before that kind of technology is ready for day-to-day use though, right? Wrong.

December 21, 2019
One of the most blogged about, talked about, and debated topics these days revolves around artificial intelligence and robotics and the myriad ways it’s going to change our lives.
As for concerns about how RPA impacts the employment of some workers in IT and other areas, these tools hardly ever take away jobs; rather, they take away many hours of work, rote tasks of jobs that often remain
The relationship between technology and people has to change in the future for the better, and I think RPA is one of the great tools to enable that change.

Amenallah Reghimi
October 26, 2019
The next big shift in business architectures is happening
now: the pervasive application of exponential technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), automation, blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT) to core processes and workflows. AI is well-positioned to deliver robust supplier collaboration solutions by enabling product managers to continuously collate data from a large number of data sources, incorporate new lessons from such data into an algorithm and deliver these solutions autonomously.

Why Aren’t We Using the Fusion of Digital Twin and Procurement To Generate Power Yet?
Amenallah Reghimi
January 03, 2019
Digital transformation is not a #strategy, a press release or a white paper - it is a total reimagining of the way the world needs to work.
The added value of #procurement coupled with DigitalTwin is not only to predict or provide a virtual view of the product. The power of this #innovation is that it can support to conceive better, more efficient products and so empower consumers’ satisfaction.

Strategic Thinking
Linkedin
September 25, 2019
Strategic thinking is the ability to think on a big and small scale, long and short term, and into the past and the present. While strategic thinking is a valuable skill for everyone in an organization, it becomes increasingly essential as you ascend the ladder. In fact, you may have a difficult time being promoted or succeeding as a leader without it. Yet, no one formally teaches strategic thinking—so it's critical to take the initiative and learn how to do it yourself. This course teaches managers and leaders how to use strategic thinking to guide the direction of their teams and come up with solutions to key business problems. Career and personal branding expert Dorie Clark shows you how to carve out time to think about strategy, gather data, learn from the past, create a vision for the future, and implement strategic thinking within your team.

A Practical Guide to Autonomous Procurement

May 27, 2021
JAGGAER, the Institute for Supply Management (ISM), and several trusted partners have joined forces to host an exciting educational webinar series for the month of June for the first annual Autonomous Procurement Month. Register today for this four-part series focusing on the future of Autonomous Procurement and the tangible steps your organization can take now to be set up for future success.

But, what IS Autonomous Procurement?

It is a platform with embedded intelligence, but a system that also continues to build on those capabilities to automate the full source-to-pay process without human interaction. However, this will happen only in instances where human input isn’t necessary or desired, such as repetitive or time-consuming tasks. It is built to augment, not replace, people.

It’s made up of numerous technologies, and this webinar series will touch on four of those technology themes:



Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Augmented Analytics
Digital Capture/Intelligent Document Processing

Jaggaer: New Year wishes for the procurement solutions and services marketplace 2022
Spendmatters
January 21, 2022
There is a real need for AI systems that we can trust. The business community is becoming more aware of the reality and risks associated with AI — issues with privacy, security and bias. My wish is that in 2022 teams in charge of these systems will devote around 70% of their time to ensuring AI is designed and operating in a responsible way. The remaining 30% can be spent building out the other details. This is how important ethical and responsible AI is becoming.

Regardless of the number of features an AI system has, if not properly managed and trusted, the risks of the system outweigh any potential benefit.

A Practical Guide to Artificial Intelligence in Procurement
JAGGAER
August 16, 2021
Procurement is making increasing use of a broad range of technologies that
fall under the umbrella term “artificial intelligence” (AI). But the term is used rather loosely. How should we define it? Essentially, AI is “the capacity of a computer to perform operations analogous to learning and decision making in humans,” Artificial intelligence enables machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs, and perform the kind of tasks that conventional computer-based software cannot do.

A Practical Guide to OCR in Procurement
JAGGAER
August 15, 2021
Optical character recognition (OCR) is a technology that allows for quick and accurate scanning of paper, pdf,
pictures and a variety of other mediums to drastically speed up document processing times. This technology has the potential to save both time and money, with an average invoice taking upwards of 25 days to manually process, costing up to $30 in some cases. With most companies having thousands of invoices
(and other documents) to process per month, this can quickly get out of hand.

August 15, 2021
Augmented analytics is often misunderstood. It isn’t a technology as such, but rather a process for using technologies. The term was coined by the analyst firm Gartner in 2017, which describes it as “the
use of enabling technologies such as machine learning and AI to assist with data preparation, insight generation and insight explanation to augment how people explore and analyze data in analytics and BI platforms.”

Category Management—Using Technology to Inform Decisions
JAGGAER
March 17, 2021
In part 1 of this series, we explored why many procurement organizations are not taking full advantage of category management—even though it tops the list as the most important service procurement can deliver.

If procurement teams are to continuously improve, then category management must be leveraged to enhance market intelligence, supply chains, and competitive advantage.

Once procurement teams have a clear understanding of what category management is, their attention can turn to execution.

One of the primary roadblocks to mature category management is taking what’s on paper and implementing it.

Why autonomous procurement is your exit strategy
Supply Management Insider
July 01, 2020
What will the chief procurement officer be doing in 2030? If they seize the transformational opportunity provided by autonomous procurement, they could be shaping strategy, not just implementing it, and driving competitive advantage.

As the global economy reels from the impact of Covid-19, the present has seldom been more demanding but as counterintuitive as it may sound, this is the right time for CPOs to consider the need to reinvent procurement (yes, again) if their organisation is to stay competitive between now and 2030.

In 2021, Intelligent systems will be enhanced to not only learn pattern recognition from the input of humans but they will also use these learnings to adapt to new tasks and situations, just like a seasoned expert might. This will be a sizable advantage when it comes to handling exceptions, because an intelligent system can adapt to manage pattern exceptions faster.

The AI Imperative: Embrace or Be Replaced
Thinkers360
March 09, 2023

The hype and buzz around artificial intelligence (AI) have died down, and we have entered a new phase of practical use cases. AI is no longer a futuristic concept, but a reality that is transforming the way we live and work.
The future belongs to those who can embrace AI and use it to their advantage. Those who don't may find themselves replaced by those who do.

Here are six ways to embrace AI and stay ahead of the curve:

Recognize the Benefits of AI: AI can automate repetitive tasks, freeing up time for employees to focus on creative and strategic work. It can help us make better decisions by analyzing data and providing insights that we wouldn't have discovered otherwise.

Stay Informed: AI is a rapidly evolving field, so it's essential to stay informed about the latest developments. Attend workshops, read research, and engage with other professionals to stay up-to-date.

Take Advantage of Online Learning: Online courses and certifications can help employees learn how to use AI to their advantage. These courses are often self-paced and can be completed from anywhere, making them an excellent option for busy professionals.

Collaborate with AI: Rather than viewing AI as a threat, employees should see it as a collaborator. By working alongside AI, they can achieve better results, make better decisions, and achieve their goals more efficiently.

Embrace Lifelong Learning: AI is continually evolving, so employees must embrace lifelong learning. By staying curious and open-minded, they can continue to develop their skills and stay relevant in a rapidly changing job market.

Stay Positive and Confident: Finally, it's essential to stay positive and confident as we navigate the world of AI. Remember that AI is not here to replace us – it's here to enhance our capabilities and make our jobs easier and more efficient.

The AI imperative is clear: embrace it or be replaced. By recognizing the benefits of AI, staying informed, taking advantage of online learning, collaborating with AI, embracing lifelong learning, and staying positive and confident, you can future-proof your career and succeed in a world where AI is transforming the way we work.

The hype is over, and we've entered the age of practical AI use cases. Now is the time to embrace AI and stay ahead of the curve.

4 Hard Benefits to PLG (Product Led Growth)
Thinkers360
November 12, 2022

PLG (Product Led Growth) naturally aligns itself with this buyer behavior shift. There’s more emphasis than ever on being transparent and being easy to work with.

PLG lets you lead with your product, showing potential buyers the value you can bring upfront.

But beyond that, there are hard benefits to PLG as well.

Product pulls you forward
A lot of times, especially in early-stage companies, it can seem like an uphill battle, constantly trying to push your product to your ICP.
In PLG, with the right product, sales, marketing, and customer success teams to support, your product will pull you forward. Your ICP will see the benefits of your solution without any unnecessary friction.

They’ll invite their team members, who want more access to features and integrations.

A lot of this can be done in a self-service model, again with an emphasis on ease-of-use - skipping the complicated IT and procurement processes that plague the sales-led, or enterprise, model.

Shorten the feedback loop
A constant struggle in marketing and sales: what channels are bringing in the most customers and what do these people care about?

Doing customer research can be a time-consuming task, but in PLG you can build in prompts to ask customers for demographic and firmographic data, in a directly attributable sign-up you can see where that demand was created, and you’ll get valuable usage data on what parts of your product your ICP cares the most about.

With PLG what could normally take a year or more could only take a few months. With more users trying your product early on, you can set up mechanisms to collect usage data, product feedback, and carefully refine your GTM strategies.

Land and expand
A phrase that nearly everyone in the B2B world has heard at least once. PLG is designed to get people in the door and expand over time. This is even more effective (and faster) because you’re often working directly with the end user not an executive, a common issue with the enterprise model.

Trying to get the attention of a C-Suite executive is harder, slower and more expensive than marketing to the end user of your product.

It’s a much easier proposition to get in the door with a highly effective but lower-cost option and then expand with higher value offerings once you’ve built trust with your customer.

Much Lower Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)
Similar to the above bullet, it’s just easier to market, sell and work with the end user rather than an executive who is typically stretched for time.

That means faster sales cycles and lower customer acquisition cost (CAC) thanks to more word-of-mouth advertising and a modern buyer experience which becomes viral with the rise of communities and review sites.

AI in Contract Management: Mitigating Potential Risk
Thinkers360
May 29, 2021

Whether you’re sourcing new suppliers, making purchases, or writing new contracts, managing risk is vital, especially in the current tumultuous markets. Artificial intelligence in contract creation can help minimize your potential exposure without sacrificing opportunity, simply by covering potential areas you may not have previously considered.

The biggest way that AI does this is by analyzing the language of your contracts and responding to it. This includes recommending new language or clauses based on the context of the rest of the document, as well as the history of similar contracts, performance against those contracts, and past supplier issues or delays by similar vendors in related categories. All of this information is analyzed and considered, and the system can make decisions about which clauses are necessary to protect your organization.

Importantly, an AI contracts tool that is part of a larger procure to pay suite can integrate deeply with Supplier Management to incorporate supplier history. That includes previous violations, late deliveries, failure to comply with discounts, or other complications. Integration is a clear best practice for contract management, not only because it reduces duplicate information but because it empowers AI systems with clear, reliable data.

This is where the value of better decision-making becomes a reality. The platform can digest more information about your suppliers and contracts than humans possibly could. It then provides your team with recommendations to minimize your risk more than you could on your own. This drives tangible bottom-line results, with an average of 3-18% risk reduction for those who adopt an AI-driven contract analysis tool.

What you should look for in future for Procure To Pay

Over the coming years, P2P will increasingly leverage artificial intelligence, natural language processing and robotic procurement automation to deliver an even better buying experience on the one hand, while further cutting costs, increasing efficiency, reducing risk, and improving governance and insight on the other. Generally speaking, you can expect P2P solutions to be more open, network-oriented, autonomous, collaborative and intelligent. Here are seven trends that I think you can reasonably expect to reshape P2P not in some distant future but between now and 2025. · It will be a more collaborative environment for all stakeholders (internal and external) with full compliance, validations, and approvals. P2P and MRP systems will collaborate through direct material order and fulfillment; P2P and corporate treasury will collaborate to support cash flow planning and optimize working capital · It will be more autonomous by taking charge of routine tasks such as all forms payment management and processing, improving the productivity of the payment process and the financial health of the supply chain · It will empower open business networks bringing together the entire community of buyers and suppliers, integrating and accessing external services and market intelligence feeds · It will be interactive with smart assistants assisting you through guided buying, vendor management and other chores · Enhanced intelligence will enable P2P systems to act proactively on behalf of users learning from and using all data sources and knowledge to make improvement recommendations to all stakeholder activities and the P2P process · It will deliver win-win finance programs to buyers and suppliers, for example dynamic discounting and supply chain finance programs · The focus of P2P will shift further from savings to value, reinforcing procurement’s profile as a strategic partner to the business.

What is Needed to Get Started with Augmented Analytics?
Thinkers360
May 01, 2020
An obstacle to more rapid progress is the lack of relevant skills in many procurement organizations. While augmented analytics reduces the need to know how the technology works, what is missing is access to the technology and an appreciation of why it should be used, i.e. the benefits it can bring, such as identifying supply market trends ahead of the competition. Gartner estimates that on average, only 35% of people in organizations have access to analytics and BI tools. “Despite the compelling benefits of augmented analytics, which can accelerate adoption well beyond this limited level, efforts to incorporate augmented analytics encounter resistance,” writes Gartner, and this is the case for a number of reasons, including the lack of data literacy in the broader user population, distrust, concerns about job security etc. The outlook is slightly rosier in procurement: in our Digital Procurement Survey 50% of respondents rated their awareness of digitalization as “up to date” or “excellent”. But there is some way to go. That said, we believe the “How Augmented Analytics Will Transform Your Organization: A Gartner Trend Insight Report Gartner Trend Insight Report” gives some excellent advice on gearing up for the next wave of augmented analytics, concluding that “Early adopters of augmented analytics have the potential to realize more strategic and differentiating business benefits from their analytics investments than those who wait until these technologies are widely adopted.” That is certainly already proving to be the case in procurement. The is certainly worth your consideration.

What about Smart Cities?
Thinkers360
April 25, 2020
According to the National Foundation Research of Singapore's Prime minister office, “Virtual Singapore” is already in progress. This project will be capable of visualizing landscapes against ongoing and future renovation projects. This may be done by positioning the sensors at the right place in the city to get the most relevant information such as bus stops, traffic lights, bridges, parking etc. By powering the smart cities with interconnected sensors, we will enable the optimal use of the available assets by detecting where is the nearest available parking, hence reducing the traffic light, saving time and fuel and so participating in developing the garden cities to make our lives healthier, more liveable, and more relaxed than today. Another example could be a better monitoring of the transport flows and pedestrian movement patterns or analyze which buildings is more suitable for the installation of solar panels based on the potential for solar energy production. Many possibilities are offered in terms of comfort, but also in their wake, a multitude of ethical issues and identity, especially regarding data confidentiality should be considered. Smart Cities, Business Success, Increase Confidence: This is the promise of Digital Twin. In conclusion, there is no doubt that we are moving to a new world, a world where business itself is going to be forced to change by a new generation. This is a great opportunity for all of us to rethink the way we do business.

How To Tackle The RPA Security Issues
Thinkers360
April 23, 2020
With the beautiful stories about RPA, we must not be ignorant of the risks associated with deploying robots or automating business operations. The increase in cyber-attacks, RPA introduced new forms of threat that can be leveraged by hackers to access unauthorized systems and exploit vulnerabilities. Routine procedures such as transfer of files, processing of orders, payroll management, payment verification, etc can be automated and to do this the automation platform requires access to confidential information of staff, customers, vendors, etc. Credit card numbers, financial information, Social Security numbers, etc could be misused by software robots or robotic workflow developers. These security risk issues exist in the two forms below: a) Data Security Issues: This has to do with improper use of confidential personal and corporate data. Implementing companies must work to ensure the full privacy and security of data used by machines. b) Access Security Issues: This relates to unauthorized users' possibility of accessing and using confidential data dealt with by bots. Access to such data must be prevented from employees and hackers. Here are some ways to tackle RPA security issues that should be around: Integrity, Confidentiality, Traceability and Control: (i) Governance & Product Security: It is important to build an RPA security strategy with clear policies that should be compliant with the company’s security policies. Besides, it is crucial to perform security architecture risk analysis of chosen RPA solutions and include security scanning tools as part of the bot creation/maintenance process. (ii) Prevention of Unauthorised Access: Everyone on an RPA team must not have free access to the data; there must be an assignment of roles (i.e Bot Creator, Tester, Controller, Runner). Assigning roles to RPA members ensures the curtailing of too many accesses to sensitive data and thereby keeping fraudulent activities under check. Password or login credentials must be used by all users and processes to have access to the credential vault. Like this, only specific authorized users may get to the sensitive data area. (iii) Active Directory Integration: This assists in assigning roles by centralizing team credentials for easy management. Active directory integration creates a control center for login credentials. With this, activities of robotic processes can be tracked

On Aug. 14, Morandi Bridge in Genoa, Italy, collapsed killing more than 40 people as dozens of vehicles and tons of concrete and steel plunged onto city streets below in a disaster that prompted an emergency review of Italy’s aging infrastructure. What if we could have prevented that disaster before even taking off? 20 April 2010 the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico collapsed causing the largest marine oil spill in the history of the petroleum industry known as BP oil spill/leak. What if we could have fixed the drilling rig before even it broke down? Can machines by time repair itself? Learn from its own mistakes? Yes, it can, by Digital Twin! So, what is the Digital Twin? Digital Twin refers to a digital representation showing in real-time the operation and life cycle of physical assets, processes, people, places, systems, and devices. It can be used for detecting the root cause of issues and improve productivity. It’s done by hooking smart sensors on an object be it a machine, aircraft or a building to gather data about its real-time status and working condition through internet. Thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT) connection, it’s possible to retrieve and sends real-time information for analysis, offering many opportunities to enhance product performance or plan the activities of an entire production line. In short, a Digital Twin is built on the connection of data between the real physical product and the virtual product. In conclusion, there is no doubt that we are moving to a new world, a world where the business itself is going to be forced to change by a new generation. This is a great opportunity for all of us to rethink the way we do business.

The RPA pitfalls
Thinkers360
April 17, 2020

Is Robotic Process Automation (RPA) the solution for any digital transformation issue? Is it the perfect solution? We may think Yes based on the market hype. The truth is that RPA is not always the quick fix for every process automation. As for every project, it’s key to plan carefully the RPA solution and focus on both process, technology and maintenance to avoid magnifying existing problems. In other words, if there are errors in the process, the bots will continue to replicate those errors indefinitely. My advice to my customers is that associating automation with a “set it and forget it” can’t be a reality. There are many chances that an RPA project fails if companies are not aware of the RPA pitfalls from the very beginning. Don’t implement RPA if your process: - is very complex and/or changes frequently - involves higher-level cognitive tasks (in the next article we will talk about the hype around Cognitive RPA) - is not optimized - is with insignificant business impact and is not cost-effective Don’t implement RPA if you don’t, - have a clear strategy - set-up KPI to measure the automation's success - have the leadership buy-in and support from the key functions - plan the maintenance's needs and cost Before starting any RPA activity, be ready to have the right checklist to define whether RPA is ideal for your operations, and where it will work best. You should start with the use cases that make sense, can optimize the existing process, increase employee and customer satisfaction.

Nine Benefits of Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
Thinkers360
April 15, 2020
Whether it is a small, medium or large organization, all of them are aiming to automate its business processes in a way that it adds value to that manual strategizing. Robotic Process Automation eliminates dull tasks, freeing workers to focus on higher-value work. While also reducing human error and staffing cost by eliminates jobs and creating new ones. Any business hoping to compete with others today must embrace robots! Few benefits of RPA are stated below: 1) Improve Accuracy and Boost Productivity: While humans work on the productivity of 60% with some margin of errors, our dear RPA work on an error-free productivity level of 100%! 2) Reduce Compliance Issues: Once you set the requirement, it continues to work by following the rules. 3) Optimal Cost Savings: With RPA deployed, your cost will continue to drop. You save the cost of hiring, training, overtime payment and so on. 4) Improved Flexibility: With RPA implementation, a business needed only to deploy virtual workers that imitate human employees to map up the change. With few lines of software code change, the bots continue working. 5) Speed: Companies that implemented RPA attest to the increase in productivity due to the speed of operation. RPAs work tirelessly round the clock (i.e., 24 hours), whereas human works an average of 8 hours or so per day and would still need breaks, vacations, leaves, etc. An RPA never sleeps, never takes a break, never goes on vacation and costs relatively lower than an employee. 6) Seamless Set-Up: Setting-up the bot does not take much, no need for any expensive installation or system overhaul. 7) Fast Detection of Fraud: Robots can detect fraud faster than humans. They can easily do background checks and complex fraud investigations. 9) Time-Saving: Robots work faster and on multiple tasks at a time compared to humans; therefore, they save a lot of time and in return money.

What is Autonomous Procurement?
Thinkers360
April 10, 2020
Let’s start by looking at what an autonomous procurement system means. At JAGGAER, our own definition of a truly autonomous procurement solution is one that will not only have cognitive capabilities embedded throughout the platform, but will build on those capabilities to automate entire sourcing and procurement processes without any buyer interference whatsoever when the opportunity arises. That final piece is key; “when the opportunity arises.” The goal of autonomous procurement is not to eliminate the human element of sourcing and procurement. Instead, it is to remove unnecessary tasks that take up time and resources, and enable team members to think and operate at a strategic level. This is not just a good idea – it’s a really good idea. Here’s why: We’ve only scratched the surface on Autonomous Procurement Many procurement suite providers already offer functionality that can loosely be defined as “augmented,” but this is only the second of four steps on the journey to autonomy. “Smart” technologies like vendor-managed inventory tools are a strong start, but current technology can go well beyond rules-based systems. Instead, modern technology exists in the third step toward autonomous procurement: Intelligent Procurement. Intelligent systems should already be learning from past purchases, user preferences, and experiences, not just responding to direct stimuli based on rules and decision trees. Tools like vendor-managed inventory can remove the ordering step when inventories hit predetermined levels, but this kind of rules-based programming is not autonomous. Autonomous procurement will deliver on its promises Artificial intelligence (AI) is, in many ways, still in its infancy. And yet even now, AI capabilities already go beyond their human counterparts in some areas. For example, a 2018 study pitted 20 barred attorneys against the LawGeex Artificial Intelligence solution. The results were staggering, with the attorneys catching 85% of mistakes on average and the AI system spotting 94%. Moreover, it took the attorneys 92 minutes, while the computer did the task in 26 seconds. AI is not just the future – it’s already here.

Data Lake Vs. Data Warehouse: How They Compare?
Thinkers360
April 09, 2020
What Is A Data Lake? Data Lake holds data in an unstructured way — no hierarchy or organization among individual data. It basically holds raw data. Data Lake accepts and keeps different forms of data from various sources. It supports all data types until when the need for them arises. Since Data lake holds several types of data, with time some of the data may never be used. The lake then gets messy and unmanageable, it then degenerates into data swamp. To make it easy to understand, think of Data Lake as a natural lake. Water from every source streams into the lake to fill it. The lake contains different organisms and materials; fishes, tadpoles, frogs, water plants, bacteria, algae, mud, sand, etc. Now take the water and contents of the lake as Data in different forms. The lake takes just about anything into it (unstructured or raw data). Anyone can dive into it, take samples, fish and probably swim. Also, since the lake can be treacherous only professionals (data scientists) can easily swim or fish in it but open to everyone. With that simple analogy, you should understand the concept called data lake now. What Is A Data Warehouse? Data Warehouse stores data in an organized and processed manner. Everything is archived and ordered in a defined way. During the development of a data warehouse, so much goes into it. The sources of data are analyzed and understand the business process. Data to include and exclude is predetermined from inception. Data to be loaded in the warehouse must have predetermined use before loading them into it. For a better understanding of the Data Warehouse concept, we shall look at Data Warehouse as a swimming pool or fish pond. The pool or pond is clean and well structured. Only clean water (structured or process data) is allowed into the pool or pond. The water is treated with chemicals, the pool is clean regularly and kept tidy. Just anyone cannot just dive into a swimming pool, you must be authorized to do so. In the case of a fish pond, the fishes or organisms (data) inside it have their purpose predetermined from set-up. This explanation should give you a better understanding of the data warehouse concept. Data Lake Vs. Data Warehouse: How They Compare Data Lake and Data Warehouse differ in so many ways and much more different than they are alike. The only similarity between the two concepts is the high-level purpose of data storage.

The One Piece of Information you need before implementing AI
Thinkers360
April 08, 2020
What is the right way to implement AI? The real Artificial Intelligence (AI) transformation starts by asking the right questions and building the habit of transformation amongst the staff because one who isn’t eager to learn or move forward will stay behind. At the moment when you think to leverage AI in your company, you should at the same time: - Think about an implementation strategy to not lose money. - So, once the AI strategy is defined, the problems to be solved are clear, you need to educate your teams and enable transformation internally by clarifying the targets to be achieved. - Engage your internal team Involving your employees and teams is important. It has to come from the top down. If you don’t have a CEO and top managers who understand the importance of AI in your context, it isn’t going to work. - Get clean and integrated data It’s all about the data. It is important to work on the data sources and identify how you can get clean and structured data to start. AI without data may lead to a big failure. AI with the wrong training data will certainly lead to incorrect recommendations and maybe bad decisions. Once all of this is done, I suggest doing a proof of concept and well define measures of success. What are the wrong ways? There are many failure factors when implementing AI such as: - Don’t start AI because you want it. AI is not right for everything - No AI strategy: understand what you are doing and Why you are doing it. - You don’t have clean, structured, relevant and enough data - Without support from leadership, your AI transformation might not succeed - Don’t start alone. Partnership and market expertise are important - Without KPI to measure the success In a word, it’s important to not jump on an AI implementation project blindly.

FROM “A SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE” TO “A CONVERSATION AS A PLATFORM”.
Thinkers360
April 07, 2020
Quoting John McCarthy, he classified AI as the “The science and engineering of making intelligent machines, especially intelligent computer programs”. Invariably, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has detailed itself as an actively developing machine, evolving through every era of change. For a long time now, it seems that man has been able to create a super-brilliant machine, usually robots – to be able to do what humans can do with ease. Predominantly, these machines have even proven to be able to do more, as they are unequivocally capable of processing huge information within a short time. In the same vein, they are still able to fill the void of agility and dexterity that humans cannot adequately fill in to. One of the simplest methodologies toward achieving a remarkable user experience is by presenting an impeccable, flawless and deliberate design, which bolsters more on interaction experience for every device. Also, the visual simplicity makes the interfaces quite simple to communicate with. The design however doesn’t have to be excessively entangled to work unusually, thereby causing clients upbeat. The idea depends on more conversational connections as opposed to tapping on buttons and icons on every product. Thus, allowing diversity on the Procurement software itself in a chat window within the external Procurement application. Likewise, to be conversational, the interaction would be with the machine virtual assistance, usually a chatbot. This bot would be smart enough to comprehend what is being said and reply with significant bits of knowledge and accurately programmed information. Cognitive Intelligence is tied in with making the quotidian experiences more intelligent, by implanting prescient intelligence into our regular applications. We should consider it thusly; since the modern insurgency, people have made tools to amplify human capacities. Of course, you can get crosswise over Europe in a horse carriage; but with an airplane, you can access the whole of Europe within the shortest time possible, and comfortably too. Simply put, AI the very tool that has been created to encourage us and our clients to get things done quicker and easier as well. AI, is simply present to help us reorganize and rethink the procurement procedures to focus more on the most vital undertakings progressively and adjust the progressions. With it, we’ll be able to changeround the business choices taken by our clients with moment experiences from anyplace.

What Does Augmented Analytics Mean for Procurement?
Thinkers360
April 06, 2020
It’s OK, we understand. Here we are throwing another buzzword at you. But bear with us because it is not really the words that matter, but the thinking and the technology behind the words. And most importantly, what augmented analytics can do for you. Let’s step back first. Analytics has been with us for some time – more than a couple of decades – though until recently it was generally called business intelligence (BI). But it is worth reminding ourselves of what it means, and what made it possible. Analytics is a very broad term and we can get a better understanding of what it means by viewing it in four layers, each of which answers a successively more difficult question: - What happened? (Descriptive Analytics, formerly called Business Intelligence) - Why did it happen? (Diagnostic Analytics) - What might happen? (Predictive Analytics, also referred to as Augmented Analytics) - What should I do about it? (Prescriptive Analytics, also referred to as Augmented Analytics) Augmented Analytics was made possible thanks to the use of machine learning techniques such as neural networks and multiple regression analysis and mathematical approaches such as decision tree analysis Bayesian inference modeling. These found their earliest commercial applications in areas such as customer profiling, market segmentation, and credit scoring as well as risk analysis (e.g. to determine the likelihood that a major client will default on a bank loan). Further technological developments have changed that to give us what Gartner defines as augmented analytics, which “… uses machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques to transform how analytics content is developed, consumed and shared. Data and analytics leaders should plan to adopt augmented analytics as platform capabilities mature.” This is a journey, and we are still only at the early stages. Nevertheless, by embedding intelligence into all the key applications from source to pay, algorithms can set certain actions in motion based on the collected data, which trigger recommendations for the user in the system. What is Needed to Get Started? An obstacle to more rapid progress is the lack of relevant skills in many procurement organizations. While augmented analytics reduces the need to know how the technology works, what is missing is access to the technology and an appreciation of why it should be used, i.e. the benefits it can bring, such as identifying supply market trends ahead of the competition.

Why Aren’t We Using the Fusion of Digital Twin and Procurement To Generate Power Yet?
Thinkers360
April 05, 2020
In this blog, we are going to see how Digital Twin can make procurement better and provide some use cases. Digital twin has been applied in different fields such as aerospace for aircraft real-time monitoring, diagnosis and prognosis, maintenance, etc. Some enterprises (e.g., Siemens, Dassault, PTC) also use digital twin to support their services for customers. How can this be used in procurement? 1) Save time and much more Nowadays, the Spend Management solutions play a crucial role for the companies that are investing billions of dollars in implementation Digital Twin. The editors and consulting firms have a big opportunity to collaborate with these companies as the Intelligent procurement and Digital Twin are two innovations that, by converging, would enable the next generation of the digital transformation in procurement. A recent study by ARC Advisory Group reveals that the global process industry loses up to $20 billion (almost 5% of annual production) due to unscheduled downtime. Thanks to Digital Twin, you can realize enormous savings by reducing the testing process and take advantage of the virtual training system. In this way, companies can reduce the systems failures and better plan the purchases based on predictive maintenance requests. According to a Microsoft Blog, Thyssenkrupp is one of the industry leaders using this new class of digital twin to transform many of their services businesses. Last year the company announced how, by using the predictive maintenance capabilities of Azure IoT, they could predict potential problems with elevators, which allow them to make time-saving interventions and quicker fixes for customers. Service technicians can visualize potential causes of issues even before they go to a job site, work hands-free while on the job, and engage with remote experts who can virtually walk them through solutions to fix potentially very complex problems. Work that used to take one to two hours is now taking less than 20 minutes. 2) The Big Procurement Transformation: Artificial Intelligence + Digital Twin The e-procurement tools can get more and more powerful thanks to the Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques combined with Digital Twin. Buyers can run forecasts and “what if scenarios” with various modeling algorithms and high number of variables that we get from connected sensors embedded in the products.
