Vendor Onboarding overview

Event-driven cross-team operational workflow activated once a vendor has been selected and approved through the vendor evaluation process. The procurement manager coordinates contract execution with legal, while IT and security teams provision access, configure integrations, and validate that the vendor meets data handling and security requirements. Business stakeholders complete onboarding documentation and define success metrics for the relationship. The vendor is added to the approved vendor register with assigned relationship owners. A 30/60/90-day check-in cadence monitors early performance and surfaces any compliance or operational issues before they escalate.
