The awards were introduced this year at the third edition of the Procurement Middle East Conference, which is supported by the Tender Board Bahrain. The awards are designed to celebrate achievements in the procurement function throughout the region.
JAGGAER’s submission featured the JAGGAER ONE Spend Management Platform, which was officially launched in the Middle East just two days earlier. Hossam Refaat, Managing Director for JAGGAER Middle East and North Africa collected the Award from H.E. Eng. Basim Bin Yacob Al Hamer, Chairman of Bahrain Tender Board and Dr Mohamed Bahzad, Secretary General, Bahrain Tender Board.
Bahrain has been driving technological change in procurement. In his keynote speech to the conference, Mr. Al Hamer highlighted the role of procurement leaders in strengthening supply chain resilience, safeguarding their brands from third-party risk, and cultivating new sources of innovation.
“The JAGGAER ONE Spend Management Platform integrates the most innovative procurement software on the market, yet the proposition is clear and simple: All Processes, All Spend, One Platform. Our mission is to empower procurement professionals by simplifying, streamlining and automating business processes. And this clearly appealed to the judges,” commented Hossam Refaat.
“It’s been a busy week for the JAGGAER United Arab Emirates team, with some great opportunities across the three days,” added Refaat.
The Middle East is a high growth region for JAGGAER, which is committed to supporting the region’s business, and boosting the local economy through innovative technology.
