Everest Group: Systems of Execution in procurement

Your procurement tech stack can store data. It can display data. But can it act on it?

In this new report, Everest Group introduces Systems of Execution (SoE): an autonomous, AI-driven framework that turns procurement data into real-time action across the entire Source-to-Pay value chain.

You’ll learn:

• Why the traditional two-layer procurement tech stack keeps organizations reactive, and what the third layer looks like
• How SoE transforms seven core procurement functions, from sourcing and contract management to P2P and supplier risk
• A phased implementation roadmap for CPOs, from quick-win pilots to scaled autonomous orchestration
• Strategic considerations for aligning people, process, data, and technology around execution-first procurement
