Story
Inside Accenture, source to pay used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in information technology groups working out of Ireland. Procurement and AP needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Accenture uses Community.ai from Coupa as the working layer for procurement and payables. Coupa is a spend management platform for procurement, invoicing, expenses, and supply chain design used by finance and procurement teams. The practical change is simple: source to pay has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Accenture gets from Coupa is a durable place to run source to pay and a way for procurement and AP to see the same procurement and payables at the same time.
