The dmp team recently presented at Biban, one of the larger SME and entrepreneurship forums in the region, bringing together startups, investors, and industry leaders under one roof.
At Biban, the team presented dmp’s approach to consolidating fragmented procurement data into a governed registry, and spent the event in conversation with three groups in particular:
- —Investors evaluating the procurement intelligence category
- —Prospective clients assessing a move away from spreadsheet-based sourcing
- —Peers and speakers sharing how procurement operations are changing across the region
Forums like this are useful less for the pitch than for the pattern recognition. The same fragmented-data complaints come from operators across very different industries is a fast way to confirm a roadmap is pointed at a real, shared problem rather than one company’s edge case.
