AI Orchestration in Action: How Edwards Lifesciences Revolutionized Supplier Onboarding While Maintaining Regulatory Excellence

Will you be attending the SIG|ORG Global Executive Summit in Scottsdale? 🌵

If so, make sure to check out the breakout session led by Jeff Braun, Head of IT Financial and Corporate Services Applications at Edwards Lifesciences—"AI Orchestration in Action: How Edwards Lifesciences Revolutionized Supplier Onboarding While Maintaining Regulatory Excellence" 🔥

Jeff will describe how Edwards leveraged Tonkean's AI-powered process and orchestration technology to unify and automate their new supplier onboarding process—providing stakeholders with a faster, easier way to work, enabling true cross-platform collaboration, and eliminating redundancies.

Ultimately, the Procurement and IT teams unified five enterprise systems, creating a central supplier lifecycle tracker, and moving from distributed, regional-based processes to a centralized, global process with a single point of entry for new onboarding to reduce supplier onboarding time and achieve efficiency gains.

Edwards built a sophisticated, end-to-end orchestration layer, leveraging Tonkean to:

  • Unify five enterprise systems to enable true cross-platform collaboration and eliminate redundancy.
  • Create a Supplier Lifecycle status indicator to quickly identify where each request is in the integration workflow process, providing visibility to requestors, and enhancing error handling.
  • Move from distributed, regional-based processes to a central, global process with a single point of entry for new supplier onboarding.
  • Leverage automation and human-in-the-loop oversight to optimize compliance without sacrificing flexibility or control

This session features practical insights from Edwards' IT Solution Delivery team on how they achieved remarkable outcomes, reducing supplier onboarding time from weeks to days, leveraging AI orchestration to bridge system gaps, automate manual triage processes, and create intuitive user experiences that accelerate routine procurement.
