Crossing the chasm of S2P beyond Procurement and Finance

The source-to-pay (S2P) application suite was created to be a one-stop-shop technology choice for procurement professionals — offering the potential for ‘suite synergy’ that delivers value beyond the sum of the individual process-centric modules.

But there are some endemic technology gaps with a suite approach that can’t be fixed easily with more S2P features, with a simple/elegant UX, or even with an attractive underlying digital platform to allow better integration (e.g., via numerous open APIs) and extensibility (e.g., via no-code capabilities).

This article explores the value of intake management and orchestration as the newest examples of solutions that fill gaps in suites/existing tech.
