ORO Labs’ Post

I couldn’t be more excited to announce that I have joined ORO Labs as Chief Marketing Officer! This is a “coming home” of sorts as I rejoin brilliant company co-founders and fellow procurement geeks Sudhir Bhojwani, Lalitha Rajagopalan, and Yuan Tung (whom I had the pleasure to work with at SAP Ariba years ago) on their quest to solve the thorny issues keeping companies from fully realizing the value of their source-to-pay solutions, and making procurement truly work for everyone. A bit about why I find this space and this company so compelling: ⭐ The Importance of Procurement Orchestration ⭐ Procurement tech has evolved from ERP, to broad S2P suite investments, to the combination of best-of-breed tools. In all cases, there remain frustrating gaps in function, user experience, transparency, and the ability for solutions to work seamlessly together. With advancements in generative AI, we finally have the technology and vision to address these gaps head-on via AI-driven procurement orchestration - for the benefit of users - and to deliver a major ROI to boot.  🧠 The ORO Labs Edge 🧠 The team at ORO is crazy-experienced developing market-leading solutions for procurement, supply chain, finance and IT, and has won several awards for its procurement orchestration platform. We collectively KNOW procurement, and will stop at nothing to uncover and address the needs of our customers and prospects where our platform can make a meaningful impact. 🚀 The Barely-Tapped Opportunity 🚀 Most procurement teams are “orchestration-curious”, but not yet utilizing these solutions. Incredibly, when procurement and IT leaders see a demo or trial these tools, they CANNOT WAIT to get them deployed, as the value is crystal clear. The best news - ORO orchestration projects take only weeks, not months or years, to be implemented and adopted with a no-code capability that allows business process changes to be managed by the business function. A win-win for procurement and IT alike. What’s more, Gartner recently placed this category on the Hype Cycle as a TRANSFORMATIONAL solution with a steep growth curve ahead - exciting times! I’m delighted to be kicking off this fresh chapter helping build a new and important market category, driving growth and transformation, humanizing procurement and making it work for everyone! 🎉 Let’s go Team ORO! 🎉 #makeprocurementawesome #lifeatORO

How much will the new client's name - in this case, Barilla Group - influence your decision to engage o9 Solutions, Inc.? "After a preliminary review, they look like an interesting player in what one industry thought leader called the crowded market space that has some of the characteristics of the digital gold rush." So, here are a few questions: When I read the above paragraph highlighting why the Barilla Group selected o9 Solutions, except for "o9's Digital Brain platform," I have repeatedly heard, read, or seen variations of the following terms. 📣 integrate all supply chain planning processes 📣 a single-cloud native platform 📣 optimize its supply chain planning capabilities 📣 a future-proof planning platform As creatively worded as the text was in the press release, would you, as a practitioner, use that as a basis for reaching out to o9 Solutions? What are your thoughts on why Barilla Group chose o9 Solutions to assist them in the "digital transformation of their supply chain?" Zhaoyang S.
