From SolutionMap to Real-World Transformation: AI, Orchestration, and the Future of Procurement

What happens when one of the world’s leading technology services companies decides to rethink procurement transformation?

In this on-demand webinar, ORO Labs, Spend Matters, and Kyndryl, explore how orchestration is helping enterprises simplify fragmented procurement processes, improve stakeholder experiences, and prepare for the future of agentic AI.

Ben Shanahan, Leader of Procurement Transformation at Kyndryl — a global technology leader with deep expertise in AI, cloud, cybersecurity, and digital transformation — shares how they orchestrated procurement workflows across SAP Ariba, Workday, ServiceNow, OneTrust, and other enterprise systems while supporting thousands of active sourcing projects globally.

For organizations pursuing AI transformation, Kyndryl’s approach stands out for another reason: they didn’t just deploy orchestration. Ben explains how his team created a flexible foundation that allows Kyndryl to build and deploy its own AI agents while remaining within a governed, orchestrated procurement framework.

This resulted in rapid adoption, improved visibility, stronger cross-functional collaboration, and a scalable operational model built for continuous transformation.
