Get a glimpse into research conducted by Productiv and Art of Procurement that contradicts many of the commonly held “truths” about partnering with procurement including:

Where procurement and IT are aligned in their priorities and success metrics and where they differ
How to build a single source of truth for software decisioning and utilization and why that is necessary for alignment
