ABOUT OUR SPEAKERS BOB VALENCIC is the Strategic Accounts Manager at Rosslyn Analytics. With over 18 years in data management, business intelligence, analytics, data mining, and market research software markets, Bob has been enabling companies across industries to harness the power of data, analytics and business intelligence to gain deeper insights for businesses to improve operational outcomes.

Rosslyn Analytics (AIM: RDT), the leading global data technology company, helps organizations create new business value from pre-

viously inaccessible data. They have developed exciting award-winning technologies designed specifically for business users to easily access and turn complex data into meaningful information via our RAPid Cloud Data Platform. Our initial focus was helping organizations exploit spend data – it is, after all, the most complex of internal datasets, and we have now moved onto other data, using cutting-edge technologies delivered in the cloud.. No other platform, on premise or in the cloud, is such a game-changer, with an intelligent data technology stack that includes human-driven machine learning and NoSQL technologies such as Hadoop, MongoDB and ElasticSearch.

He works closely with Procurement, Finance, and IT teams to understand if a Procure-to-Pay solution is right for them. He has a background in Supply Chain Management, and in a previous position, led several sourcing projects for Fortune 500 organizations throughout the US. Joe grew up in Naperville, IL and played football at Western Michigan University. He is looking forward to watching his old teammates and competitors play on Sundays, as we near the start of the NFL season!

Back in 2006, as the Internet was transforming consumer buying, the founders of Coupa asked themselves a big question: Why should the way we buy at work be any different than the way we buy at home? Answer: It shouldn’t. And so Coupa Procurement was born. It doesn’t matter how powerful your procurement software is on the back end - if people can’t or won’t use it you won’t save a dime. We set out to change that, and we succeeded. Companies that use Coupa see unprecedented rates of user adoption. Most of our customers say Coupa makes shopping at work feel just like online shopping at home. We also asked ourselves another big question: Why should expenses and invoices operate independently? They’re being artificially siloed by the available point solutions. So, we set out to build a unified suite that brings that same user-centric approach to all of the ways companies spend money, so you can see and save.
