JAGGAER has expanded its global alliance with BearingPoint by entering a new reseller agreement covering the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, marking a significant step in accelerating digital procurement transformation across this strategically important market. This extension builds on a partnership that has successfully served clients across Europe, the Middle East, Africa (EMEA), and North America since 2019, and now aims to bolster co-selling, solution delivery, and customer success within JAGGAER’s Amplify Partner Program.
The collaboration combines JAGGAER’s comprehensive Source-to-Pay platform with BearingPoint’s deep system integration expertise and regional proficiency. It is designed to help a diverse array of industries—including manufacturing, financial services, life sciences, transportation, logistics, and energy—navigate the complexities of tariff changes, supply chain disruptions, and heightened compliance requirements. Through tailored procurement and supply chain solutions, the alliance seeks to provide regional organisations with enhanced transparency, agility, and resilience in their operations.
Martin Hayles, Global Senior Vice President of Alliances and Partner Strategy at JAGGAER, described the expansion as “an important milestone in our global go-to-market strategy,” emphasising the value of bringing together local expertise and global technology to tackle complex procurement challenges. Tunde Laleye, Leader of Commercial Industries and Operations for APAC at BearingPoint, highlighted the urgency of supporting APAC organisations amid recent global tariff changes. He noted that leveraging JAGGAER’s innovative Source-to-Pay platform will enable clients to ensure compliance and operational resilience in a rapidly evolving environment, delivering exceptional value and strategic advantage.
The Asia-Pacific region’s growing significance as a global supply chain hub underpins the strategic importance of this partnership. The region’s rapid economic expansion, competitive cost structures, and ongoing infrastructure development have made it a focal point for multinational companies seeking supply chain diversification and risk mitigation. Digital procurement transformation has become critical to managing these dynamics effectively, and the JAGGAER-BearingPoint alliance is positioned to meet this demand.
BearingPoint, a management and technology consultancy with a global footprint covering over 70 countries and a workforce exceeding 10,000, has been recognised for its commitment to client success and innovation. The firm, which operates in consulting, products, and capital units, is also known for its certified B Corporation status, reflecting its dedication to social and environmental impact. BearingPoint’s collaboration with JAGGAER has recently been further validated by being named JAGGAER’s Global Partner of the Year for 2023, acknowledging its substantial contributions to business growth and client value worldwide.
JAGGAER itself is a well-established player in the source-to-pay technology space, offering AI-enabled solutions that focus on process management and automation. Its global workforce of around 1,200 employees supports comprehensive procurement capabilities from a single platform, making it a leading choice for organisations aiming to enhance efficiency and transparency in their procurement operations.
Together, JAGGAER and BearingPoint aim to advance procurement transformation in APAC by integrating cutting-edge technology with consultancy acumen. This partnership not only addresses complex tariff landscapes and compliance challenges but also drives measurable business outcomes through increased efficiency, cost savings, and supply chain visibility. The expanded alliance reflects both companies’ ambitions to deliver tailored solutions that support ongoing regional economic growth and evolving market demands, ultimately empowering organisations to build resilient and future-ready procurement ecosystems.
