IT procurement for large enterprises has never been more challenging than it is today. Spend is increasing, along with the number of suppliers and transactions to manage. Most importantly, the business criticality of the IT spend category is skyrocketing, putting IT procurement professionals at the center of an investment portfolio that touches every corner of the business. High-performing IT buying teams – like our host for this Summit, State Street – are advancing IT procurement as a strategic discipline.
