  2. CHRIS SALIS A Tech Industry veteran who started his journey from Adecco Employment Services and with his various achievements reached the position of •Vice-president and Head of Global Sales, Line of Business Solutions for procurement at SAP. •Global Vice-president and General Manager, Line of Business Solutions for Procurement at SAP. This PDF is about how he elevated the Role of Procurement at SAP i.e. in a Technology driven Organization and crafted a respected position for himself. Q:When asked is the procurement organization more of a leader or a laggard when it comes to adopting new IT functionality? Chris Salis: Procurement is both a mature user of technology and an area of the enterprise that is ripe for innovation. Procurement processes are very mature, so the technology to automate procure-to- pay and to gather spend data has been around for a long time. Most procurement organizations have picked the low-hanging fruit. And if they have not, the technology is so readily available that a company of any size can implement it and streamline its internal procurement processes or policies fairly quickly. It’s the next level — the more strategic processes — where the innovation needs to be applied today.

  3. Q:What other new innovations does SAP have for the procurement organization? Chris Salis: We’re also continuing to innovate our core procurement technology to address the entire procurement and sourcing process. If you’re an existing customer using our core solutions, our last few enhancement package releases have made that core significantly more usable. For example, we recently simplified our shopping cart tool in SAP SRM 7.0, and we plan to release a new, more intuitive interface for the shopping cart functionality fairly soon.
