Build vs Buy in Agentic AI: A new decision framework for procurement & finance

Every procurement and finance leader is being pulled into the same conversation right now. Should we build our own AI capability? Should we buy a purpose-built platform?

As procurement accelerates its use of agentic AI, enterprise leaders are rethinking whether they should build or buy these systems - and choosing the right path can make or break your transformation goals.

In this session, Johan Mills will be joined by leading analysts at The Hackett Group to break down the conversation procurement and finance leaders should be having internally, and how most high-performing teams are thinking about it.

What You’ll Learn:

  • A clear view of what agentic AI has actually changed about the build vs buy decision
  • The hidden costs on both sides of the decision that almost no business case captures
  • Where the orchestration layer fits within the build vs buy debate
  • The two biggest deciding factors you should consider - data and explainability
