In Sales force the process seems delayed and complicated. Thank you for taking the time to show me. You have made my life much easier!

SPEND IS SPEND!

Page 18: Jam notes and additions  the suite life  an overview of coupa unified spend solution-0415

By capturing the need first,everything starts with “I need...”

My invoice processed

To buy something

Approval for something

Assistance with a process

Something Fixed

To collaborate for a decision

A supplier set up for payment

To request access to something To start a process

To Reconcile Card Charges

Spend Management is Journey Look at not only your current pain, but the future

• Do no fall into the trap of fixing an acute pain, find a cure for the problem

• Understand what the platform does, after immediate pain is solved

Collaborate: Do not make decisions in a silo• Too often, AP/Finance, Procurement and IT do not work together, resulting in

disparate solutions for each area’s pain

• Look for a solution that can deliver strategically for everyone

Phase it out• Tackle your immediate pain first, but design for the next step

Executive Alignment• Ensure executives are involved for selection and project success

– Executive sponsorship not only will drive success, but a broader platform footprint

Page 20: Jam notes and additions  the suite life  an overview of coupa unified spend solution-0415

From Tactical to Strategic

The Pain• Too Much Paper

– Desire to Automate

• No Visibility

– Data is poor and non-existent

• No Integrated Process

– AP, Procurement and Finance work in silos

• System Limitations

– Need more functionality = next RFP

The Solution• Automate as the beginning

– Automation is not “the” solution

• Spend Capture is Key

– Start somewhere (Expenses, Invoicing, Procurement)

• Start to expand spend footprint

– Move to the next step: e.g. Post Approved to Pre-approved

• Platform that supports growth

– Turn on applications as you go
