Procurement governance

02
Agree the right support

03
Deliver and review
We coordinate onboarding and approved access, establish working practices and review progress regularly to keep delivery aligned with your priorities.
Your questions
Frequently asked questions
How our colleagues work with your team, systems and priorities.
How is our data kept secure?
Our colleagues work through your approved remote desktop environment. Your data stays within your network—we do not download or transfer client data to Denova’s devices or systems. Your organisation retains control over access and permissions.
Are your colleagues employed directly by Denova?
Yes. All our colleagues are full-time employees of Denova. This allows us to manage their training, ongoing support and performance directly, helping us maintain consistent quality across our client engagements.
Can you work with our existing S2P platform?
Yes. Our experience includes platforms such as Coupa, SAP Ariba and Esker. Before starting, we review your systems, processes and requirements to confirm the right specialist skills and scope of support.
Can we choose between embedded support and a managed service?
Yes. Embedded colleagues work as part of your team, with you setting their day-to-day priorities. With a managed service, Denova takes responsibility for delivering an agreed scope of work against defined performance measures. We help you choose the approach that fits your needs.
How quickly can support start?
We can typically deploy colleagues within two weeks. Timing depends on whether the required skills are available within our existing team or whether we need to recruit additional colleagues to meet your requirements. We’ll confirm availability and an expected start date during the initial scoping discussion.
“Denova has been a great partner in helping us modernize Procurement and accelerate our shift from long manual processes to intelligent, AI-enabled workflows. They understand what it takes to operate a lean procurement function, think ahead, and have helped us move faster than we could have on our own.”
— Erin Allan, Global Procurement, HackerOne
