        Roughly half of my more than 30-year career in human capital management was spent as a line manager responsible for HR technology strategy, selection and deployment.

        Last week, Scout RFP held their 2nd annual user conference, Spark 2019. Scout’s software is designed to manage sourcing and procurement processes in companies.

Strategically, this fits in with Scout RFP's customers and target audiences. Scout’s users represent a...
