0:00Welcome to Global Economic Press, where we deliver trusted global finance and economic news, analysis and reports, empowering leaders and investors with reliable timely insights. I'm your host, Alex Brady. In today's episode, we're diving into a groundbreaking development in the world of procurement and artificial intelligence. Omnia, a leading procurement platform, has just announced a major innovation that bridges the gap between procurement data and AI tools like ChatGPT and Microsoft Co-Pilot. Stay tuned as we explore how this new technology is set to revolutionize the way procurement teams operate. Omnia, a leading procurement platform, today announced the launch of its model context protocol server, making Omnia the first intake in orchestration platform with data directly accessible through tools including Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Co-Pilot, Cohere North, and Cursor. As artificial intelligence assistants become

Omnia's model context protocol closes that gap, keeping Omnia as the system of action and intelligence while making its data accessible where teams are working. The model context protocol enables procurement teams to access their supplier data using plain language in the artificial intelligence tools they already work with, meaning less time wasted switching tabs, building reports, and copying and pasting between systems. Omnia is already developing capabilities that enable the integration to directly execute tasks across connected systems. Users will be able to update supplier records and manage requests from within their artificial intelligence tools, laying the groundwork for truly autonomous procurement. A new access layer for centralized data. In practice Omnia's model context protocol server means a procurement professional can ask Claude who owns a particular supplier relationship,

This becomes more powerful when Omnia data is combined with other connected systems in the same conversation. With financial, legal, and operational data available alongside supplier records, teams can surface the kind of cross-system intelligence that previously took hours of manual work. Alexander Pilsil, vice president procurement strategy at the Adeco Group, said, every business to business tool is promising artificial intelligence. Omnia is the first one in our stack that actually plugged into the artificial intelligence tools we were already using. Procurement teams shouldn't have to choose between using artificial intelligence tools and having access to accurate supplier data, said Ben Freeman, chief executive officer, and founder at Omnia. Our model context protocol means they get both. Omnia's structured, governed data available right where they're already working.
