At AstraZeneca every one of our employees makes a difference to patient lives every day. You may not feel you’re at the frontline of research but your role in changing patients’ lives is critical.

Having a high level of electronic integration with suppliers (cXML, CSP - Coupa Supplier Portal, SAN - Supplier Actionable Notification) along with maximum possible punchout catalogues built, will make the buying experience for the AZ users much simpler and more effective allowing our Operations team to reduce the manual intervention in the P2P process.
