For procurement professionals, the future isn't much sci-fi as it is about streamlining and simplifying their workflow. Although source-to-contract and procure-to-pay platforms have removed all chinks in procurement processes and streamlined the purchasing of goods and services, we are yet to witness the full potential of procurement technologies, what with emerging technologies like AI and cloud coming into the picture.Cloud, specifically, is playing a crucial role in prodding procurement processes into the future. The technology, when combined with procurement software solutions, can not only eliminate inefficiencies but also streamline the entire lifecycle of procurement processes. It will also allow procurement professionals to access functionalities from any devices, no matter their location, allowing for more flexible operations. While the current packaged procurement tools have stood disconnected from other procure-to-pay platforms, cloud will enable end-to-end integration of all solutions in one place, bringing greater visibility and ease-of-use.While such developments are making their way into the procurement space, the only question is whether organization are ready to embrace the future.
