(11 AR721 Implementing Guided Buying - Policies) How are validation policies uploaded? What are the tabs included on the upload? Policies are uploaded in "full mode", meaning whenever anything is added you have to include all previous policies AND the new ones. In-context tools to collaborate w/ suppliers and procurement experts resulting in expanding spend under mgmt & making procurement efficient -Benefits by target audience: Casual users = makes it easy and provides guidance, functional buyers = engage w/ suppliers w/ 3 bids and a buy, collaboration provided in-context of buying experience makes easy -Elevator pitch: Simple, smart, & elegant buying experience to increase user engagement w/ all spend -Differentiation: One place to buy goods/services, configurable policies to guide users to right business process, and collaboration in-context of buying Centralized procurement cannot scale to meet needs of decentralized procurement -Solution: GB provides a simple, smart, & elegant buying experience to increase user engagement across all spend -Benefits: one place to buy goods & services w/ smart guidance to direct users to right items, preferred suppliers, and compliant policies. Suppliers/procurement users collaborate offline. Procurement policies are not in-context of buying experience.

Challenge: users need multiple processes for difference categories of spend.
