Coupa: The Guide to Intake & Orchestration Workshop
While digitising the Source-to-Pay (S2P) process was the goal of the last decade, the next frontier in procurement isn't just about having data—it’s about how that data enters the system.
At Procurement & Supply Chain LIVE: The US Summit, Coupa will host a workshop led by Tricia Miller to explore how Intake Management and Orchestration are challenging traditional paradigms and becoming the primary catalysts for procurement innovation.
Join Coupa for its The Guide to Intake & Orchestration workshop to learn how to bridge the gap between goals and execution by turning your procurement function into a streamlined, automated power centre.
- Date: April 22, 2026
- Time: 2:00 pm CDT
- Location: Room 2
Beyond source-to-pay: The rise of orchestration
Intake and orchestration software has rapidly evolved from a "nice-to-have" tool into a critical engine for business alignment. It acts as the "Digital Front Door", ensuring that every request, from a simple office supply order to a complex multi-year service contract—is captured, categorised and routed correctly from the very first click.
The workshop will teach attendees how to streamline intake and orchestration, critical for aligning procurement with broader business objectives. This workshop provides practical approaches to intake management, process orchestration and workflow optimisation.
Matching AI to your maturity journey
A highlight of the session will be Tricia Miller, SVP of Product Marketing and Chief Evangelist at Coupa. As one of the leading voices in procurement, her insights will provide vital resources for attendees. Tricia has spoken on a number of topics, including the Procurement Maturity Curve. She explained how one of the most common pitfalls in AI adoption is a mismatch between tech investment and organisational readiness.
"We as procurement leaders have to be very thoughtful about where we are on that maturity journey and then make the right bets based on that," Tricia says.
