EMEA Digital Procurement Survey 2019 by PWC
200 responses from survey participants with various leadership roles in procurement departments from 20 European countries. 

1. Digitalisation is a strategic priority for procurement departments across Europe. Regardless of the country, sector or business size, procurement departments’ number two priority is to digitise their processes, with streamlining their organisation only just taking first place. Talent management and developing supplier collaboration rank next in importance. 

2. Digitalisation is well on track, with an average 2.5 out of 7 procurement processes having already switched to digital, compared to 1.5 in 2017. 

3. Another striking difference compared to 2017: the digital leap forward in “strategic” processes – a trend that will gain in momentum.  
*60% of companies have started digitising strategic procurement processes – strategic sourcing, predictive analytics and supplier collaboration tools – compared to 21% in 2017 
*For transactional aspects – Source-to-Pay, contract preparation and spend trackers – nearly 75% of companies are currently adopting digital solutions. In line with the 2017 findings, these processes take priority. 

4. 78% of companies, regardless of their sector or country, stated their intention to invest in at least three digital solutions. Germany has a clear leading position in procurement digitalisation compared to its European counterparts. For the degree of process digitisation, Germany’s procurement departments have above average or even leading maturity in 6 out of 7 processes surveyed. (More details in the report).

Dun & Bradstreet 2018 Compliance and Procurement Sentiment Report
The first-ever Dun & Bradstreet 2018 Compliance and Procurement Sentiment Report gathered responses from more than 600 respondents from the US and UK answered a range of questions on confidence, concerns, risk, technology and priorities. 

For compliance and procurement professionals across the globe, their objectives remain unchanged: mitigate risk, reduce costs, and create world-class, advanced due-diligence programs. These areas of focus are not mutually exclusive and cannot be done in silos. There are external and internal factors, often outside the compliance and procurement professional’s scope of responsibility, that impact success.  

1. Procurement and compliance professionals are optimistic about the future of their disciplines today.  

2. There is an overall positive sentiment in both the current and future effectiveness of their respective areas as a function. 

3. While the overall sentiment is positive, respondents continue to be concerned with regulations. As the regulatory landscape in the US and UK becomes more complex, compliance and procurement organizations need to have comprehensive due diligence programs in place. They also need to be nimble enough to respond to change quickly, while meeting regulatory requirements.  

4. The convergence between supply risk management and compliance continues. Both disciplines have similar, overlapping needs, and in some companies, we are seeing one executive responsible for both. In those cases, professionals who hold dual roles tend to have better business outcomes and are more successful. 

5. Many organizations have adopted technology as part of their compliance and procurement programs, but there is still room for improvement. As technology changes and solutions like artificial intelligence and predictive analytics come into play, an organization’s due-diligence program can benefit if the technology is adopted correctly. However, technology was highlighted by numerous respondents as a possible barrier to their success.
