00:00:00.066 --> 00:00:03.900
More than half of the cost of any company
is external spend,

00:00:03.900 --> 00:00:07.833
and procurement is the function that is
looking at this spend,

00:00:07.833 --> 00:00:12.100
trying to optimize it, manage volatility,
make it more predictable,

00:00:12.100 --> 00:00:13.633
and protect the margins.

00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.566
This is the reason why procurement is
getting a seat at the table,

00:00:17.566 --> 00:00:20.966
which procurement has been asking for for
many, many years,

00:00:20.966 --> 00:00:23.233
and now needs to deliver on the promise.
