Archer Third Party Engagement

Third Party Engagement

Archer® Third Party Engagement allows you to catalog the products and services being delivered to your organization by third parties. It also allows you to associate product and service engagements to the business process and business units they support, giving you a holistic understanding of your dependency on each third party.
