Coupa’ s CPO – CIO Report looks at how procurement and technology leaders work together to drive transformation
Coupa’ s report explores the developing partnership between CPOs and CIOs and their teams. The research shows that, although procurement and information technology( IT) departments typically work together well, significant shortcomings exist in their readiness for emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence.
These findings highlight the critical need for improved data quality, modernised systems and unified platforms to maximise AI’ s value in procurement operations. The report offers readers valuable perspectives on strengthening procurement-IT collaboration around technology deployment, enabling them to enhance efficiency, reduce costs and advance continuous procurement innovation. Looking at spend management strategies which include procurement transformation( tech, analytics, cross‐function working), the report offers actionable insights – helping procurement professionals understand how technology decisions( and the relationship with IT) impact spend visibility, control and governance.
“For procurement leaders, this is a pivotal moment to embrace innovation, strengthen crossfunctional partnership and prepare for the future of advanced technologies”
