Deployed’s Digital Intake and Drafting enhances Procurement Orchestration platforms.
Procurement Orchestration is one of the only market segments that is focused on what happens before a signature. Intake and Orchestration routes requests for purchasing decisions via specific workflows.
Deployed works within Orchestration workflows for more complex requests for services and talent, and the drafting of the Statements of Work, which is not done via these platforms.
Where does Procurement Orchestration sit in your tech stack?
