Webinar — The considerations that haunt Spend Matters 50/50 lists

The webinar this post promotes has already happened, but you can watch a recording.

On October 31 at 10:30 a.m. ET, the Spend Matters Analyst Team will celebrate Halloween by treating all to a webinar that shares the insights they have derived while compiling this year’s 50 to Watch, 50 to Know and Future 5 lists.

These lists mark the 11^th year in which Spend Matters highlights the best in procurement technology development and innovation. These lists are the result of months of effort, and the analyst team always comes away with a deeper appreciation for how the procurement world works. Nikhil Gaur, Spend Matters Director, Strategic Projects & Research Analyst, summed up the achievement as follows:

“Spend Matters tracks some 1,500+ procurement and supply chain technology and services providers. Given the evolving market and the emergence of new technologies, we discover and take demos with new types of provider all the time. Solutions around ESG, risk, intake & orchestration come to mind.

“The annual ‘50 Providers to Know’ and ‘50 Providers to Watch’ lists recognize best-in-class and fast-rising companies in the supply chain and procurement market. The ‘Future 5’ list features the most impressive procurement technology start-ups we’ve seen in the past year. And, to better represent the dynamic provider landscape, the new ‘Hall of Fame’ honors the vendors that have been listed on the ‘Know’ list for 10+ years.

“With the emergence of new procurement software and services offerings, decisions on who makes the lists are only getting tougher. We hope that the annual releases of our 50/50 lists, complemented by the Future 5 (now in its sixth year) and the inaugural Spend Matters Hall of Fame, continue to inspire debate about future technology investments, and we look forward to continuing to release these lists in the years to come.”

Vendors and procurement practitioners can learn more than just the names Spend Matters deems worthy of elevating, though. In the upcoming webinar “Unmasking Procurement Excellence: A look at the 2024 Spend Matters 50/50 Lists,” the analyst team will detail how new entrants are pushing the boundaries of procurement technology and their innovative methods, the ways in which leading providers continuously set higher benchmarks for the industry and the environmental factors that drive the success of standout procurement technology start-ups. There are no tricks involved — just a vigorous assessment of the landscape and how vendors perform in it.

So, register today to get the most in-depth understanding of how the procurement tech sector has evolved. Anyone who wants to see the procurement technology landscape without the mask of marketing cannot afford to miss this opportunity.
