    10 - The Future of the Procurement Technology Landscape
    Dec 21 2022
    “Consolidation doesn't necessarily mean innovation going away. Sometimes two things that join together end up being greater than the sum of their parts. There are some things that I wish were already consolidated. I won't name specifics, but some things make more sense together than apart. And when it comes to the future of the market … look, I mean, I talk to investors all the time who say, Wow, this is a highly fragmented market. And I pull up slides of different visualizations, like logo maps, as the ones we see from Kearney or the ones we see from other firms, it’s like, Yeah, there's a lot. And we throw more logos on this slide every single year. So it's a time for reorganizing a competitive landscape.”Nick Heinzmann, VP of Research at Spend MattersIn the vast and competitive market that procurement is now becoming, how do you find the best suppliers and vendors for your needs? And how do you realize success if you are one of those new suppliers trying to be seen?At SIG recently, Stephany Lapierre sat down with Nick Heinzmann, VP of Research at Spend Matters, and their conversation delved into the questions above. Among many things Nick is responsible for, he works on Spend Matters’ list of 50 Procurement Providers to Know, 50 Procurement Provides to Watch, and the Future Five. How does he measure what qualifies a provider to be on the list? Find out. Nick has a unique insight into what companies have the toolsets required for what he calls a “period of economic reorganization”, as well as the creativity within integration and workflow that organizations should be looking for. Show host Stephany Lapierre and Nick Heinzmann address the vitality of data in procurement’s future, where procurement has come in the last five years, projections of where the industry may go in the next five years, and the leaders and thinking driving the future. With Tealbook in its second year on the 50 Procurement Providers to Know list, this is a timely and knowledgeable discussion.Additionally, in this episode, Nick Heinzmann talks about:Why he sees a lot more partnering, banding together, to address problems in the near futureHow data will necessarily require a shared consensus standard to speak to the heart of where the industry is operatingWhat he’s been hearing in conversation as the big themes of SIG, what is being looked for, what is moving the industry?About Nick Heinzmann:Nick Heinzmann is the Vice President of Research at Spend Matters. Prior to this role, Nick was an associate analyst covering niche and new technology providers for Spend Matters. His coverage spanned solutions that don’t neatly fit into any of the boxes used to bind the Spend Matters SolutionMap analyses (e.g., e-procurement, e-sourcing), along with vendors new to the procurement technology market or ones that need validation of capabilities before entering the rigorous SolutionMap RFI process. Nick is a native of Tri-State area Connecticut. He found his way into the world of procurement by indirect means. He started out as a music student at Northwestern University, completing an undergraduate degree in cello performance. He decided to jump ship into journalism, completing the master’s programme at Northwestern’s Medill school the next year. Trading counterpoint studies for the real-world “thrill” of covering agricultural derivatives at the Chicago Board of Trade, Nick got his first whiff of global commerce that, he would later learn, is in large part orchestrated by procurement professionals.Armed with that minimal procurement knowledge, he decided to take a job out of grad school copy-editing for Spend Matters, spending many hours spelling out acronyms and deciding whether he should be typing e-procurement, eProcurement or eprocurement. The minutiae of grammar and style eventually led to more writing-focused roles within the Spend Matters editorial team, including a stint as the lead writer for our client content programmes within Spend Matters Brand Studio.Resources in this episode:Elouise Epstein at KearneyElouise Epstein spider graphTim HerrodJeff Wright of NASDAQFairmarkitWilliam Bagley of Freddie MacSpend Matters “50 Procurement Providers to Know for 2022”Links:Stephany Lapierre - TealBook: website | twitter | linkedin | youtube | instagramNick Heinzmann - VP of Research at Spend Matters: website | linkedin

    09 - Creating an Intelligent Spend Community Strategy with SAP
    Dec 14 2022

    “Where does the business network come in? It's an operational extension of your company, so this can make it happen. Think about this example of when many, many moons ago we all joined LinkedIn. What was the first thing that LinkedIn did? They said, Give me your Outlook address book and I'll tell you how many of your address book are already members. That's the same concept we do with the business network. So if you're not a member, you have your supplier, vendor master data, and then we'll load that into our network, and say 40 to 50% of that population is already a network member because of the work of the others. So you're basically coming into, say, the next year and you're not a member of a network, but then you can say, Oh, I can actually pull that off because I don't have to invite all these thousands of companies to connect with me. I just put my hand up… and say, I want to be connected to this already existing network member.”

    • Achim Voermanek, Global Vice President for Intelligent Spend Community Strategy at SAP

    A vision of a network of different departments and suppliers sharing a combined data backbone sounds brilliant, right? That is exactly what SAP is pioneering.

    Achim Voermanek sat down with Stephany Lapierre at SIG and explained how the acquisition of Ariba, Fieldglass, Concur, and most recently Taulia, into the SAP fold works to create an intelligent spend community network that benefits every member. Do Ariba, Fieldglass, and Concur cease to exist? Not at all, they are simply now unified under SAP into the visionary network.

    Achim tackles the challenges of bringing this vision forward in real talk. It isn’t just technology that needs to be addressed, it’s psychology. There is an overwhelm mindset to be overcome which he is keenly aware of.

    Show host Stephany Lapierre and Achim Voermanek talk frankly about the data privacy aspects of the network, the incentives required to coax people into supporting the bold venture, and the vital part that data plays in all of it. With Tealbook set to join the SAP App Exchange, it’s a timely and insightful discussion.

    Additionally, in this episode, Achim Voermanek shares the following:

    • Things coming through now on the SAP business technology platform, BTP.
    • How the Spend Connect event will be a unifying event for all the ecosystem companies and players.
    • How he views the notion of data unleashed as a “visual free flow or a free dynamic movement” towards a highly desired outcome.

    About Achim Voermanek:

    Achim Voermanek is a Global Vice President for Intelligent Spend Community Strategy at SAP. He is responsible for regional and global aspects of that strategy, and for customer engagements during the innovation lifecycle. Achim has over twenty years of cloud product owner, portfolio management, and significant startup experience in the digital media production space.

  • 08 - How to architect agile innovation with supplier data

    08 - How to architect agile innovation with supplier data
    Oct 12 2022

    “What's critical is that you have the capability, the resources to find these use cases, and the pragmatic approach on how to work with data. Far too often people hide behind ‘cannot consolidate that’ or ‘cannot add that together, and that's why I struggle’. Why don't you put them up in a data lake that allows you to ignore all the source differences and pick what you need and harmonize what you want to look at, because you should know where your challenges are.”

    • Ralf Peters, Vice President of Procurement at Coca-Cola Europacific Partners

    How long would it take you if your CEO came and asked how many suppliers you have based in Russia? How long would it take to give the risk profiling of those suppliers with a contingency plan?

    Those two questions were posed by host Stephany Lapierre during a panel at DPW. The only person in the room answering differently, citing quick access to the information, was Ralf Peters. So he shared with Stephany how he has set up procurement at Coca-Cola Europacific.

    Ralf deals with the sort of fast moving supply demand that requires exacting speed and agility from procurement. He also must ensure that suppliers meet the company’s sustainability agenda which requires their being onboard with Coca-Cola’s digital environment. He keenly understands the need for good data and analytics to work in efficient alignment.

    Show host Stephany Lapierre and guest Ralf Peters discuss the meaning of good data and the niche products Ralf has integrated into the end-to-end source-to-pay suite solution that specifically ensure protections in the realm of integrity and risk sensing. Ralf very much speaks the same language as Stephany and views data similarly.

    Additionally, in this episode, Ralf Peters shares his knowledge and insight on the following:

    • Why procurement teams must have the ability to not only select solution providers quickly, but pilot, implement, and embed the systems to jumpstart innovation
    • How a digital environment defines Coca-Cola’s global system of suppliers’ alignment with sustainability agendas
    • How he views data as an “endless universe of insights” which informs the company’s vision and strategy

    About Ralf Peters:

    Ralf Peters is a business leader with 26 years of experience within FMCG across finance, sales and procurement with different entities within The Coca-Cola System. He has worked and lived in 5 European capitals (Berlin, Athens, Prague, Bratislava, London) and he “has been blessed and honored to lead and be part of great teams across the business working with passionate customers and innovative suppliers”. He is currently heading the procurement function as Vice President for Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) and also assuming the role as Chairman of CEPG, the global procurement consortium for the entire Coca-Cola System. He is very passionate about sustainability across the system, working towards a world without waste and turning CCEP into a Net Zero Emission company by 2040, ten years ahead of the Paris Climate Agreement recommendation.
