Claritum: Vendor Analysis (Part 3): Competitive & Summary Analysis

There is a curious category-specific boxing match brewing for the future of what we might term “non-vanilla e-procurement.” In one corner of the ring, we have traditional procure-to-pay (P2P) incumbents, such as Ariba and Coupa, which are increasingly configuring unique versions of their capabilities for specific user or industry requirements, some more successfully than others. In the other corner, we have specialist providers that designed their e-procurement applications from the ground up to meet very specific needs (e.g., print and marketing procurement) rather than serving as broad-based P2P platforms. Claritum is one such provider.

This final installment of our multipart Spend Matters PRO Vendor Snapshot series covering Claritum offers a competitive analysis and comparison with other procurement technology providers. It also includes a user selection guide, user interface and user experience (UI/UX) analysis and summary evaluation and selection considerations. Part 1 and Part 2 of this PRO research series provide a company and deep dive solution overview, a SWOT analysis, product strengths and weaknesses and a recommended fit analysis for what types of organizations should consider Claritum.
