JAGGAER’s initial series of short term planned upgrades will bring a single analytics strategy to the JAGGAER ONE platform. Analytics from JAGGAER’s central data layer will be fed directly into the platform, while being shared with an Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) foundation that will deliver recommendations, decisions and actions, bringing the promise of predictive “what if” scenarios into real world applications.

“Our annual event is a great opportunity to connect with and learn from our customers across multiple national and global organizations, including commercial, healthcare, and educational institutions. Our mandate for simplification and control and intuitive, embedded procurement intelligence, designed to enhance decision-making and risk management efforts for customers, will allow users at any point or location within an organization to quickly and easily access the power of our solutions and get to work. The presentation of our new roadmap is a further solidification of this driving concept and provides our customers with confidence in their partnership with JAGGAER,” says Robert Bonavito, JAGGAER CEO.
