    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.

    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.

    Powering Resilience: Strengthening Supply Chains in the Age of Grid Strain and AI Expansion

    In today’s hyperconnected economy, supply chains are only as strong as the infrastructure that powers them. Yet, the U.S. electricity grid—much of it built in the mid-20th century—is buckling under the dual pressures of aging infrastructure and surging demand from AI-driven data centers. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects global electricity demand could increase by about one-third to three-quarters by 2050, depending on the case . As AI becomes a cornerstone of modern business operations, its energy appetite is reshaping the grid and exposing vulnerabilities that could ripple across global supply chains. For C-level executives, the question is no longer if disruptions will occur, but how to prepare. Can AI, paradoxically, be both the disruptor and the solution? How can C – Level executives leverage AI to future-proof their supply chains against energy volatility and infrastructure fragility?

    Pre-Merger Contract Assessment

    In mergers and acquisitions (M&A), pre-merger contract assessment is a critical step in due diligence. Before any deal is finalised, organisations must thoroughly review existing contracts to identify risks, obligations, and opportunities that could impact the transaction’s success. This process ensures that both legal and financial exposures are understood, regulatory requirements are met, and integration planning is informed by accurate information. By focusing on contract assessment early, companies can avoid costly surprises and lay the groundwork for a successful merger or acquisition.

    Proactive Compliance Management in Life Sciences: Leveraging AI for Early Risk Detection

    Life sciences organizations operate in some of the most stringent regulatory environments globally, governed by frameworks such as the FDA, EMA, cGMP, and GxP, as well as data integrity standards. Maintaining compliance is essential not only for regulatory approval but also for ensuring product quality, patient safety, and corporate reputation. Traditional compliance processes are often reactive, heavily manual, and data-fragmented—making it difficult to anticipate risks before they result in violations. Predictive identification of compliance risks, enabled by artificial intelligence (AI), offers a significant shift in approach. By leveraging historical audit and operational data, AI models can identify patterns and signals of potential noncompliance, enabling proactive intervention and continuous quality improvement.

    Proactive Risk Management in Complex Vendor Networks

    Working with multiple vendors offers key advantages, such as cost savings and quality improvements. More importantly, engaging multiple vendors helps reduce reliance on a single supplier, which protects the organization from potential supply chain disruptions, financial instability, or operational failures on behalf of one vendor. However, this benefit comes with the challenge of managing a more complex network of vendor relationships. To mitigate risks effectively in a multi-vendor environment, businesses need clear contract management, strategic vendor selection, greater transparency, and rigorous performance monitoring. Balancing risk reduction with operational efficiency is key to ensuring successful mitigation without disrupting the organization.

  • Moneyshot Payroll Business Process Transformation 2023–2024 - Process Transformation for Compliant, Cost-Efficient, and Employee-Centered Payroll

    Process Transformation for Compliant, Cost-Efficient, and Employee-Centered Payroll

    Payroll is a backend, internal business function with the sole objective of paying people in an accurate and timely manner. Hence, process transformation has never been the topmost priority for payroll professionals. Lately, businesses are transforming their people, processes, and technology to improve compliance and costs and manage ancillary priorities such as unifying global payroll operations, generating payroll insights, improving employee experience, and facilitating seamless employee mobility. Companies are increasingly partnering with payroll service providers to consolidate their vendor base, improve digital adoption, and offer on-demand payroll. As a result, the number of active clients of payroll business process transformation service providers has increased by 21% between June 2022–June 2023. Both demand- and supply-side trends are covered in Avasant’s Payroll Business Process Transformation 2023–2024 Market Insights™ and Payroll Business Process Transformation 2023–2024 RadarView™, respectively.
