Shannon Copeland is helping companies find hidden savings, reduce procurement complexity, and make better decisions across supply chain and spend management. As CEO of SIB, he leads a company with 35 years of experience helping clients negotiate with vendors. SpendBrain, SIB's AI platform, creates a private semantic ontology for each client. In this episode, Russ and Shannon explore how SpendBrain works with messy federated data, why roughly 40 percent of invoices contain some type of error, and why clients own both their raw data and their private brain.
