The evolving landscape of procurement

As the landscape for procurement continues to evolve rapidly, organisations are struggling with the limited visibility into contracts, inefficient approval handoffs and disconnected tools across the contracting process.

These challenges lead to inefficient procurement cycles, contracting going rogue, undesired auto-renewals and a drop in the value of contracts. According to a Deloitte study, undertaken alongside Docusign, Unlocking the Value of Agreement Management, it found that nearly US$2tn is being lost in global economic value each year due to poor agreement management practices and systems with procurement teams missing over US$1m in savings due to contractual incentives.

SAP and Docusign - driving innovation

Docusign outlines its commitment to finding solving these challenges through its long-standing partnership with SAP. As a leader in CLM, Docusign is an innovative solution to assist its customers achieve their business goals by streamlining source-to-pay workflows.
