AOP: Reaching Towards the Future with Agentic Intake and Orchestration

As a professional field, procurement is ever-evolving. Roles, processes, digital capabilities, and business expectations never seem to hold still. Each time one takes a step forward, the others must either adjust or scramble to keep up.

With agentic AI starting to make its presence felt in the procuretech landscape, the time is ripe to think about how it is altering procurement’s perspectives on work and value creation, and also how it is driving change in the tech stack.

In this AOP Live session, we will be joined by William Yan, Senior Product Manager at Zip. He will help us rethink systems architecture as well as the concept of ‘procurement work’ given the rapid pace of AI advancement.

William will share his perspective on:

• Changes in the procuretech market and how they are intersecting with enthusiasm about agentic AI
• Why agentic AI has been particularly impactful for intake and orchestration platforms
• How procurement needs to rethink the way they understand their work priorities
• Where he thinks all of this change is headed and further adjustments procurement will want to make in the future
