# Spend management trends that will impact your technology decisions in 2021

##### Overview

Big data, cloud computing, and AI is rapidly changing technology and the way we work, especially in procurement and finance.

In this presentation, we answer those questions and tell you how they’ll impact your organization’s technology choices.

Featured host: Micky Keck, Gartner Analyst
