Our participation comes at an important time in our company’s history as we continue to scale our primary product, Purchase Pro™, throughout this year. Given that MainStem’s Purchasing Platform is currently powered by Azure, we will now have expanded access to resources, capabilities and ecosystem partners that will ensure the success of our go-to-market strategy.”
The MainStem team will collaborate with Microsoft’s engineers and technological leaders as they continually strive to improve visibility and insights available to users and suppliers via MainStem’s Marketplace and its Purchase Pro platform.
