Оптимизируем Закупки: чеклист топ-10 для формирования потребности с помощью ИИ-аналитика Raft AI4BI

Если зададите «закупщику» вопрос о проблемах, которые ему приходится решать на каждодневной основе, то «пустая рюмка и взгляд полный грусти будет вам ответом». Дальше последует уходящий в бесконечность список с описанием того, что болит, и достается в нем и нашим и вашим. Вспоминают и ненадежных поставщиков, и задержки поставок, и перерасход по контрактам, но в большинстве таких списков фигурирует проблема, настигающая «закупки» еще в самом начале цикла: идентификации потребности и формирования заявки на закупку. Сегодня разберем один из подходов, помогающий снизить градус проблемы с формированием потребностей: внедрение в регламент закупок чек-листа. Покажем на живых примерах, как ИИ-аналитик Raft AI4BI может помочь в имплементации подхода.

Open Letter - Europe’s Digital Future

Yesterday we had a non-public workshop with Digital Humanism Conference in #Vienna.

The workshop focused on experiences of building public #infrastructures & organising #digital transformation in public administration.

There were many experts which are responsible for public #procurement in Austria. It was so interesting to hear what the exact (legislative) problems with public procurement and #opensource are.

Thanks so much to @katjamat for facilitating exchange and change!

Recordatorio operativo para compras retail post-peak:

Si la auditoría post Día Padre detectó quiebres operativos (lectores que fallaron, impresoras que no aguantaron, capturadores bodega insuficientes), esta semana es la ventana para cotizar reemplazos y refuerzos antes de Fiestas Patrias.

Cotización armada hoy llega a stock Santiago + regiones con tiempo de prueba antes del siguiente peak.

Australia's F-35s arrived in 2018. When the logistics software failed, Australian engineers couldn't inspect or fix it - they waited for a Lockheed Martin patch. Scale that up to AUKUS submarines and $9.9 billion of classified AI in REDSPICE, and "sovereign capability" starts to sound like a terms-of-service agreement you didn't read. Estonia built its entire e-government stack on open standards - no single vendor holds the keys.

We're assembling the world's most expensive collection of potential bricks.

Demand the terms sheet. Demand the keys.

The Billion Dollar Brick: AUKUS and the Illusion of Sovereign Capability

Australia is spending billions on AUKUS submarines and classified AI systems it cannot inspect, maintain, or control. That's not sovereign capability: it's a very expensive dependency.
