Determine: Vendor Analysis (Part 2) — New Solution/Platform Strengths

Determine, a procurement suite technology vendor that is in the early stages of releasing a re-platformed solution (incorporating Selectica, b-pack and Iasta) onto a single code base and stack, has done a remarkable amount to bring multiple solutions together in a unified platform in a limited development timeframe. But how does the new Determine solution compare to other source-to-pay (S2P) and procure-to-pay (P2P) vendors and what are the differentiators (including strengths and weaknesses) compared with other providers, including Coupa, Ariba/SAP, Oracle, BravoSolution, GEP, Zycus and others?

This Spend Matters PRO analysis, the second in a series on Determine, provides an update on the vendor’s strategy and first general availability release of the new single platform solution (see also Determine: Background and Solutions). This installment focuses on Determine’s new platform solution strengths. The final part of this series analyzes Determine’s current weaknesses and provides competitive analysis and customer recommendations.
