February 2022 PRO roundup: New perspectives on AP automation and public sector sourcing, Coupa’s T&E solution takes flight and Jaggaer extends CLM functionality via contract analytics acquisition

Spend Matters PRO content brings you the deepest and widest variety of analyst coverage of vendors in the procurement technology space, and this monthly post will recap why the vendors and issues covered in February are important.

Each month, our analyst team provides vendor-specific profiles and overviews. Using our SolutionMap benchmark data from doing demos and scoring of more than 65 solution RFIs, we also perform comparative analyses of vendors against each other in our head-to-head columns. We also focus on just one vendor versus the SolutionMap average scores in a “What Makes It Great” post. And some of our analyst coverage explores the latest thought-leadership topics about procurement and the technology that serves it.

In this February roundup, we review our Vendor Analysis coverage of seven solutions (MeRLIN, Volody, Nipendo, Cimple, Jaggaer, DocSkiff, Coupa). Our February analyst coverage also included head-to-head SolutionMap comparisons on COR360 (Corcentric) and SoftCo for AP automation and the conclusion of our market landscape series covering procurement services providers, including a deep dive on the BPO segment.

We also provide a forward look of what you can expect on Spend Matters PRO in the coming month. Of note in March: the release of new survey research on levels of adoption and satisfaction for procurement organizations using services procurement technology.

Now let’s pull back the curtain on why this coverage is important.
