However, as companies amassed large amounts of data over the years, do your tools have the capability to truly integrate, analyze and manage that data to produce useable reports?
• Justifying an ROI for spend analysis tools
• Creating a framework for overcoming your data problem
• Project tracking data to ensure your spend goals are being reached
• It the problem really with your tool, or just how it’s set up?
• Showcasing and demonstrating the savings to the CFO
