“The procurement models banks rely on were built for a different decade.”
Who it’s for
For banking procurement leaders questioning whether their current operating model still fits. The whitepaper offers a perspective for reassessing established choices and shaping procurement’s next chapter.
What to expect
- 01DORA makes provider oversight a procurement priority: banks need visibility into critical ICT providers, operational data and audit trails.
- 02Outsourcing, shared services and master-vendor models need reassessment against today’s operating and regulatory requirements.
- 03AI can strengthen procurement work, but access to the right skills remains a constraint.
- 04Advancing AI capabilities reopen the choice between an all-in-one suite and specialist platforms.
- 05Best-of-breed can accelerate focused AI development; suites offer unified data, access controls and audit trails.
- 06Automation changes roles, not accountability: banks remain responsible for safe and sound operations.
- 07Platform choice must connect regulatory oversight, AI capabilities and architecture rather than treating them as separate decisions.
