"Call it the app phenomenon. Much like our personal relationship with the Internet is driven by specific applications on our mobile devices and our desktops, the trend in the digital procurement arena is for very specific software applications that either supplement, or replace, complex ERP systems. Rapidly changing technologies, coupled with an evolution in digital procurement, forces procurement organizations to stay on the cutting edge of available technologies that help them do their jobs." – Rich Weissman, SupplyChainDIVE
