In this webinar, industry experts Matthew Buckingham and Steve Buterbaugh explore how data integration is reshaping modern procurement. The conversation centers on the increasing complexity of procurement ecosystems and the challenge of managing data across multiple disconnected systems.

A clear theme throughout the session is that most organizations already have the right data, but without integration, it remains siloed. This lack of connectivity limits visibility, slows decision-making, and introduces unnecessary risk across procurement operations.

Key takeaways:

  • Data silos limit visibility and slow decision-making
  • Integration unlocks more value than adding new tools
  • APIs enable real-time data flow and collaboration
  • Manual processes increase risk and cycle times
  • A unified view drives faster, more informed decisions

This is how procurement shifts from fragmented execution to a streamlined, data-driven operation.

Watch the replay to see how leading teams are putting this into practice.
