by Rajesh Ranjan

The PO service provider landscape is transforming at a fast pace, as players evaluate several alternatives to build differentiated capabilities. Service providers are exploring the role of talent vs. technology to achieve the right balance required to serve an increasingly competitive market. Nevertheless, procurement is heading towards a digital revolution given the rise of disruptive technologies. The value proposition for procurement might witness a change against the backdrop of technologies such as advanced/cognitive analytics, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Internet of Things (IOT) and Blockchain.

In this research, we analyze the PO service provider landscape across different dimensions:

  • 2017 PO PEAK Matrix and Star Performers
