I don't have a résumé for you.
I have a purchase request.
Fifteen years in oil and gas supply chain taught me why enterprises refuse new tools. It's not the software. It's the people. Watch Aside get in without asking anyone to change.

1Read the request in the buyer's own ERP tab
2Check vendor against the approved list
3Flag price 13.9% above contract
4Stop. Ask a human before routing
Price exceeds contract by USD 2,700 total. Route to approver with a note?
5Write the audit trail. Clean data in, real analysis out
Illustrative mock. The request, vendor, and prices are made up to show the pattern.
Why enterprises stallTemperament, not tools. What an org chart calls culture is people who won't change how they work.
How Aside gets inDon't convert the unwilling. Put agents in the hands of the willing few, at critical functions, in the sessions they already use.
How it sellsAs data integrity, never as headcount. Clean inputs mean the CFO buys. Talk about replacing people and the lawyers arrive.
