A first way to find out is to ask yourself if your organization has:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>1. an operating model (processes and procedures implemented) and<\/li>\n<li>2. a defined organizational model (people and roles).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>We recommend that you try to identify the return on investment, in:<br \/>\nintangible aspects: greater control, traceability, transparency, visibility, or tangible aspects: such as savings in more efficient processes (time) and money (cost savings).<\/p>\n<p>Procurement software will help you move to the next level of professionalization with functions
