Coupa has gone beyond evolution of P2P – they have reinvented it

22 Oct 2015 Posted by Pete Loughlin in Purchase to Pay

I first cut my teeth on P2P over 20 years ago. It was the mid 1990s and at the time the internet was not considered to be robust or secure enough for enterprise applications. More importantly, it was new and it was mysterious. I led…

A must attend P2P event in one of the coolest locations in London

21 Sep 2015 Posted by Pete Loughlin in Purchase to Pay

I ration my conference attendances. I get lots of invitations to speak and there are many interesting events that I’d like to attend but I’d never get anything done if I went to all of them. I’m very selective. There has to be good reasons…
