SAP
Services Procurement Network
Tuesday 14 March 2023
Overview

Services Procurement is a large category of spend for most companies, however it is often put into the ‘too difficult box’ for many reasons.

With this in mind we have created this forum to enable you to learn from the experts, industries leaders and your own peers in interactive sessions on streamlining your service procurement processes. No matter the stage you are at with your journey we are sure there will be valuable takeaways from all three sessions.
