THE END OF TRADITIONAL SRMS , S2C AND P2P ?
Olivier explains that , while AI won ’ t instantly solve every problem , it will prompt a revaluation of how people work and derive value from new technologies : “ The way data is managed , expected and delivered is going to change .”
However , he believes platforms will undergo incremental changes , rather than a complete overhaul of traditional SRM , S2C and P2P formats .
“ Some in procurement say category management is over ,” Olivier adds . “ Maybe it will be , but it ’ s going to happen gradually . I think the same applies to S2P .”
The key , according to Olivier , lies in adapting to the evolving landscape of data management and leveraging AI in a thoughtful way , rather than expecting “ magic AI ” to solve everything . procurementmag . com 61
