The Gap Between a Decentralized Tail Spend Problem and Sourcing Cycles Measured in Hours, Not Weeks.
Most enterprise procurement teams know their tail spend is where the chaos lives: thousands of potential buyers, inconsistent process, low visibility. HP manages 20% of its total spend in the tail, spread across roughly 35,000 potential buyers. This webinar is a candid look at how Chris Patafio and Steve Dyson closed that gap with Globality.
You'll walk away with a clearer picture of what autonomous sourcing changes about a decentralized buying environment, and what it takes internally to scale self-serve sourcing without losing control.

How HP cut sourcing cycles from weeks to hours
The tail spend problem, the automation approach, and what changed operationally to get there.
-
Why guardrails made decentralization possible
The embedded policies, compliance checks, and audit trails behind self-serve sourcing at scale.

Where to start when scaling autonomous sourcing
Why high-volume, formulaic categories build the early wins that fund expansion.
Within HP we are looking for new efficiencies as we are reducing headcount and reducing costs. The technology that exists today is going to enable an environment that is truly self-serve.
