6. Value Proposition – CIO/CDO
Procurement teams use disparate tools and systems to manage their Source-to-Pay operations.
These systems often work in silos and are not conducive to efficient and seamless exchange of
information. There are frustrating barriers between Sourcing, Contract Management,
Procurement and A/P teams.
ISN enables CIO organizations to quickly adopt procurement best practices, leverage business
rules and achieve ~100% touchless transactions, increased process compliance and reduction in
errors. It results in quick value realization through reduced infrastructure spend.
INTELLIGENT SUPPLIER NETWORK (ISN)
Value Proposition – Chief Procurement
Officer
The challenge of automating procurement
business processes and supplier onboarding
has been a longstanding problem for CPO
organizations and a major hurdle to success,
resulting in increased costs and compliance
challenges.
ISN enables buying organizations to digitize
supplier relationships and uses a many-to-
many collaboration model. It helps
suppliers to have better visibility of
transactional flows resulting in ~2% reduced
spend within a short period of time.
Companies operate in highly-regulated, compliance, data and document intensive environments. The key challenge is to automate those
documents in a touch-less manner to achieve cost reduction and improve operational efficiency. This ISN offer provides the essential digital
connection between buyers and suppliers for automated, data-rich, fast and accurate transactions. It is the foundation for any company
looking to digitize their procurement, finance & supply chain landscape.

of manually managing a large volume of
invoices/year which is an error-prone and
labor-intensive exercise.
ISN will help manage up to 50k invoices /
year which is 10 times more efficient than
manual invoicing. It enables finance
