Why digitalize?

System implementations and digitization are costly and full of risks. And how can the value contribution of procurement be increased?
We see three success factors for a value-adding and thus successful digitalization of procurement. 1. Clarity about one’s own objectives and relevant criteria for system selection. 2. Realism, focus and openness in the implementation. 3. Measurable increase in value contribution through consistent system use. But how? A roadmap.
