Represent Agiloft as a credible procurement voice at industry events and in market-facing content.

Partner with Alliances to develop ecosystem strategy and generate hypotheses on technology-partner integrated workflows.
Bring S2P practitioner expertise to discussions about how CLM fits within broader procurement technology environments and workflows.
Help identify procurement use cases and workflow considerations relevant to potential technology-partner integrations.
