Aravo: Vendor Analysis (Part 2) — Platform Strengths and Weaknesses

Aravo was the original standalone supplier information management (SIM) solution in the North American marketplace. Founded in 2000, it is also one of the oldest independent procurement solution providers. After growing beyond its early roots as a catalog management enabler for Ariba implementations, Aravo launched a SIM solution capable of managing general supplier registration field and template-based initiatives. In more recent years, it has evolved into a full-fledged third-party and supplier data management solution that bridges a range of governance, risk and compliance (GRC) and procurement-centric requirements.

This Spend Matters PRO Vendor Snapshot explores Aravo’s strengths and weaknesses, providing facts and expert analysis to help procurement organizations decide whether they should consider the provider. Part 1 of our analysis provided a company and detailed solution overview, as well as a recommend fit list of criteria for firms considering Aravo. The third part of this series will offer a SWOT analysis, user selection guide, competitive alternatives, and additional evaluation and selection considerations.
