Accountable Alignment: Vendors, Contracts, and Spend as One

Accountable Alignment: Vendors, Contracts, and Spend as One

Most companies grow through vendors; most also leak value through silos.

Procurement fields requests.
InfoSec/Risk set conditions.
Legal negotiates in the dark. 
Finance discovers renewals at invoice time.

Daniel Barnes, Director of Product and Customer Marketing at Gatekeeper; (previously ran procurement, legal, and finance workflows) lays out a unified way forward:

• Minimize risk at intake
• Carry decisions into tiered contracts
• Run performance and renewals from ERP/AP so protections and payments finally match. 

We’ll translate this into clear jobs-to-be-done for each team, show how to turn renewals into a visible pipeline with off-ramps, and explain what 'one vendor record' really means in practice.

You’ll leave with a one-page checklist and three plays you can run in 30 days - no rip-and-replace required.
