Moving From Orchestrated Processes to Automated Work

When procurement first graduated from generative to agentic AI, it wasn't immediately clear what the impact would be or how quickly it would be felt. Now that we have had an opportunity to experiment, pilot, and implement agentic AI in our workflows, no questions remain: agentic AI is essential to the future of strategic spend management.

With the next generation of AI agents, we're moving beyond orchestrating processes to automating the work itself. This is the shift from AI that understands procurement work to AI that performs procurement work, agents that go from describing the work to doing it, with every action audited and governed. Zip's recently launched Superagents are a clear signal of where this is headed.

In this AOP session, Michael Denari, General Manager of AI at Zip, discusses where the biggest automation opportunities live, what it takes to identify, build, and scale high-impact AI use cases, and how procurement leaders can position themselves at the forefront of AI transformation.
