Winning Ideas for Simplifying Acquisitions

November 30, 2021 • Episode 34

Back in September, the Buzz previewed a virtual Shark Tank competition hosted by ACT-IAC's Emerging Tech and Acquisitions COI (you can listen to that episode here). The question competitors sought to answer was "How can emerging technologies help streamline the acquisition lifecycle ?"

This week, host Colin Larsen talks with the winners of that event to discuss where these ideas came from, how they work, and why it matters.

Guests:
Jaime Gracia - IRS Acquisition Manager and Government Chair of ACT-IAC’s Acquisitions Community of Interest

"Intelligent Automation for Automating Contract Modifications"
David Gill - Procurement Data Scientist, IRS
Jessica Mosely - Consultant, Summit2Sea

"WAFR - Waste Abuse Fraud Report"
Miguel Acevedo - RPA Consultant, Summit2Sea
Ken Ganatra - Intelligent Automation Technology Lead, Summit2Sea
