“ I think everyone in the world has materially changed over the last five years. COVID, post-COVID tariff chaos … the list goes on.“ The one thing that’ s certain in all of this is that what JAGGAER does in supply chain and procurement has never been more relevant, or more important.”
This macro-level disruption has accelerated trends that were already emerging.“ I have a supply chain background and so I’ ve observed firsthand that there’ s this convergence between procurement and supply chain,” Andrew adds.
“ We’ re going to see it in org structures and business processes. And I think the procurement industry is going to evolve to much more closely combine with the supply chain.”
This convergence represents more than just operational efficiency. Instead it reflects a fundamental shift in how organisations approach their extended value networks. As supply chains become increasingly complex and interconnected, the traditional boundaries between procurement and supply chain management are blurring.
Mission-driven customer base During his evaluation of JAGGAER, Andrew was particularly impressed by the company’ s customer base and their missions. The‘ impact element’, as he calls it, proved compelling:“ I think I’ ve been incredibly impressed. The JAGGAER team is really on a mission to support our customers’ missions.
