SAP Sapphire 2025: A Turning Point for AI-driven Enterprise Operations
At SAP Sapphire 2025, SAP unveiled a cohesive strategy to transform enterprise operations through embedded AI and unified data infrastructure. Central to this is the SAP Flywheel model, which allows applications, data, and AI to reinforce each other, enabling context-aware automation via Joule, SAP’s AI copilot. Joule extends across SAP and non-SAP systems, improving decision-making in users’ daily workflows. Supporting this is the Business Data Cloud, a unified, open data platform designed to eliminate fragmentation and fuel intelligent applications. With partnerships including Palantir and Adobe, SAP is aligning its architecture for the AI era, turning siloed data into real-time, cross-functional intelligence.

After the Ink Dries: The Compliance Tightrope in Post-Merger Procurement
The press release is out. The deal is done. But for procurement teams, the real challenge is just beginning. In one recent merger, a global enterprise discovered that over 30% of its inherited supplier contracts were noncompliant with local data privacy laws, just weeks before integration. This isn’t unusual—if anything, it serves as an early heads-up. When it comes to post-merger compliance, unanticipated issues can quietly become bigger challenges if left unchecked.

Power is the New Procurement: Buying Compute + Kilowatts Together
As AI workloads scale, the true cost of compute is no longer measured in tokens or instances; it is measured in kilowatts, carbon intensity, and latency thresholds. This shift demands a new commercial playbook where energy becomes a first-class contract term. Enterprises must now co-price compute with power, embed energy-indexed clauses, and negotiate for sustainability-linked incentives. Avasant’s AI Contract Intelligence framework helps organizations future-proof their sourcing strategies by integrating energy terms across the compute stack, from hardware to application. The result: predictable costs, assured capacity, and measurable ESG impact.

Policy Harmonization for IT Procurement: Alignment Across Entities
Despite the European Union’s push for smarter procurement, over 55% of public tenders still prioritize price alone—leaving innovation and sustainability on the sidelines. This signals a pressing need for harmonized IT procurement policies that unlock broader strategic value. When aligned across entities, IT procurement policies can deliver powerful outcomes: cost savings, lower compliance risks, streamlined operations, and accelerated innovation. For organizations operating across diverse structures—whether multinational corporations, government agencies, or academic institutions—policy harmonization isn’t just beneficial, it’s essential.
