Challenges such as cost pressures, ESG compliance requirements, impending recession, digital transformation requirements, and supply chain disruptions are driving sourcing to embrace modern, digitized, and value-focused approaches, in addition to the function’s more traditional cost-saving responsibilities. To serve this need, providers are constantly developing their procurement capabilities to help organizations transition to modern sourcing.
