What Procurement AI Actually Needs to Work on Day One
Watch the full session featuring The Hackett Group and Opstream on building the data foundation AI actually needs.
Presented by
A practical discussion on procurement technology that works with your business, not against it.
Too often, procurement technology forces people to adapt to the software rather than the other way around. This session explores what AI-enabled procurement platforms actually need to deliver from day one, drawing on Hackett Group research and real implementation experience.
Hear from Nikhil Gaur (The Hackett Group), Roy Weiser (Opstream Customer), and Mor Cohen-Tal (Opstream) on building cross-functional alignment through better data foundations, flexible integrations, and technology that preserves the way your teams already work.
What You Will Learn
- Why organizational misalignment, not workflow inefficiency, is often procurement’s biggest hidden cost
- Why successful AI initiatives begin with trusted data and interoperable systems
- Why your organization may be more AI-ready than you think, even if your data is not perfect
- How one organization connected Procurement, Finance, Legal, and business stakeholders without forcing process redesign
- How to evaluate whether a procurement platform can serve as a cross-functional data foundation, not just a better form
- Why implementation speed matters more than feature lists when fighting user adoption resistance
