End-to-end support for the digitalization of your Procurement function: assessment of the existing setup, tool selection, process redesign, deployment and change management.
Source-to-Pay, e-procurement, e-sourcing, contract management, spend analytics, SRM platforms: the Procurement software market is exploding, driven by established players (SAP Ariba, Coupa, Ivalua, Oracle) and a myriad of specialized solutions. Hard to navigate.
And the trap is not only in choosing the tool: it's in the project itself. The statistics are unforgiving: nearly 60% of e-procurement projects fail to deliver. Not for technological reasons, but due to method, framing or adoption failures.
"Digitalizing a bad process means industrializing it. Before choosing a tool, you must know what you really want to automate."
Assessment of your current digital maturity, identification of pain points and opportunities. Definition of a target aligned with your strategy: where do you really want to go, and why?
Before any digitalization, simplify and standardize Procurement processes. No question of automating chaos. Definition of target processes, both ambitious and realistic.
Definition of the optimal functional scope (best-of-breed vs integrated suite), solution benchmark, vendor RFP, objective comparative analysis, contract negotiation.
Project management, functional configuration, ERP/IS integration, testing, training. Progressive approach by functional batches or scope to secure milestones.
The real challenge: adoption. Internal communication, user training (buyers, business units, suppliers), post-deployment support, adoption rate measurement and corrections.
Tracking of target KPIs: usage rate, process compliance, productivity gains, savings generated. Continuous adjustments to maximize ROI over time.
Diwan Advisory has no commercial partnership with Procurement software vendors. None. Our recommendations are strictly driven by your interest, your context, your maturity and your budget — never by hidden interests.
This doesn't prevent us from knowing well the main market solutions (SAP Ariba, Coupa, Ivalua, Oracle Fusion, Jaggaer, Determine, Sievo, and many specialized solutions). We know their strengths and limits, which allows us to recommend the right solution for your situation — not the one that pays the most.
