Story
Cloudera grew procurement and payables faster than the local tools around it. From the United States, information technology teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. Procurement and AP were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Treasury put source to pay on Coupa. Coupa is a spend management platform for procurement, invoicing, expenses, and supply chain design used by finance and procurement teams. Cloudera keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so procurement and AP do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier source to pay. Procurement and payables is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join procurement and AP without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
