How A&D Thought Leaders Unleash Value Hidden in Their Data

With every procurement and supply chain transaction, A&D enterprises generate more data than they know what to do with. Much of it lives on systems that don’t talk to each other, as they are spread out both inside and outside your organization and generated by suppliers, government agencies, and other disparate organizations.  SAP Ariba Intelligent Spend Management can help you understand and transform that data from information into intelligence and intelligence into value.

Specifically, we’ll discuss Procurement & Supply Chain’s role in the Intelligent Enterprise, provide an update on how A&D customers are leveraging SAP Procurement solutions, and discuss Total Spend Management (TSM), Recent Innovations, Integration and Cognitive Procurement.
