In today’s world, very few organisations have one procurement digital solution for everything.
Often, large enterprises use anywhere from five to 20 digital solutions, and in some cases their landscape can expand toward 40 or more — no single tool can do it all.
But ORO Labs is changing the game.
In September, ORO launched the ORO Partner Enterprise Network (OPEN). OPEN cultivates deep, lasting relationships with consulting and technology partners who share a commitment to innovation and customer success. Together, fast deployments are enabled through ORO’s no-code orchestration platform, to identify joint value creation opportunities and engage in co-development to unlock growth.
“An ecosystem isn’t just a collection of digital solutions. It’s consulting partners, specialised tech providers, and human expertise all working together,” explains Lance Younger, EVP, EMEA GM and Global Partnerships at ORO Labs. “Each contributor brings unique value, whether it’s cutting-edge technology, research, or individual knowledge. By combining them, you unlock outcomes that no single solution could achieve: greater efficiency, stronger effectiveness, a far better experience, and stronger economics. In fact, ecosystems don’t cost more — they lower total ownership costs and deliver higher ROI. That’s the power of bringing technology and human insight together.”
Collaboration plays a major role between technology providers in achieving better outcomes in procurement. According to Younger, collaboration means better access to the best AI, technology, and experts in the context of a procurement ecosystem. “From there, collaboration also creates energy,” he says. “Passion in the space is important, but it only becomes powerful when it’s brought together as a collective force to build momentum and drive meaningful outcomes.
“Finally, true collaboration delivers synergy. By combining solutions, you generate a force-multiplier effect where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. For me, successful collaboration is essential but you also need to bring access, synergy and momentum together as well.”
