"The value you bring as a procurement function has transcended being a cost saver. They are now a discussion partner with other functions and bring value in the form of intelligence." - Adrian Vicol, Data Strategy Lead & Data Architect, Siemens Energy

Procurement leaders are facing more complex questions about data than ever before. As organizations move toward AI and automation, the need for clean, reliable, and actionable data is skyrocketing – but most teams are still wrestling with legacy challenges and data silos.

Getting this right is no longer optional; it's becoming mission-critical.

In this special episode, recorded on-site at ProcureTEX in London, host Philip Ideson speaks with Adrian Vicol, Data Strategy Lead at Siemens Energy. Philip was there at the invitation of Beroe to speak with some of their customers about turning data into actionable insights.

Adrian shares a no-nonsense perspective on what it really takes to close the data-to-action gap for procurement. You'll hear firsthand how Siemens Energy is building a strong data foundation, implementing practical governance, and reshaping the way their procurement teams deliver value across the business.

In this episode, Adrian discusses how to:

  • Define a clear North Star for procurement data strategy and automation
  • Structure strong data governance with business and technical roles
  • Approach legacy data cleanup pragmatically to build trust in analytics
  • Integrate internal and external data for real-time insights
  • Engage procurement professionals to share expertise and drive adoption
