SourceDay: Vendor Analysis, Analysis and SWOT - [PRO Content]
April 17, 2019 | Nick Heinzmann and Pierre Mitchell
The broader procurement technology market has always had a tenuous relationship with the direct procurement technology solutions. Old timers may remember SupplyWorks from the early 2000s, but it folded — and the SupplyWorks brand name now belongs to a janitorial/sanitation service provider (we won’t go down the easy joke paths on this one). More recently,…
Tradeshift: Vendor Analysis (Part 3) — Summary and Competitive Analysis - [PRO Content]
October 29, 2018 | Xavier Olivera and Jason Busch
Unlike Salesforce, Tradeshift embarked on building both an applications and platform technology business at the same time, commingling the value proposition of each to create something that it hoped would prove larger than either could be individually. Flash forward less than a decade since the provider launched, and Tradeshift has remained true to this vision.…
With Coupa Taking Aquiire, Only 2 Specialists Left Standing (Updated 2018 E-Procurement Market Forecast and Competitive Sector Implications) - [PRO Content]
October 17, 2018 | Spend Matters Analyst Team
Coupa (cleverly) has been snapping up specialized technology in the e-procurement market to further enhance its capabilities (re: Simeno and Aquiire). In doing so, it has also acted as consolidator, reducing the available e-procurement supply market for both customers and competitors. In North America today (and globally, as far as we are aware), there are…

An Oracle Solution Primer (Part 3): A Module-by-Module Look at Oracle Procurement Cloud - [PRO Content]
May 23, 2016 | Xavier Olivera
The Oracle Cloud — previously known as “Oracle Fusion” — is a line of products that may have initially appeared to be a targeted bet and experiment for Oracle as it explored native SaaS development and deployment models and attempted to combine the strengths of different organic and acquired assets in a common suite. Oracle…
An Oracle Solution Primer (Part 2): A Module-by-Module Look at EBS Advanced Procurement - [PRO Content]
May 18, 2016 | Xavier Olivera
By nature of not having made targeted acquisitions in the procurement market, Oracle does not call as much attention to itself in the space as ERP rival SAP, which purchased Ariba, Fieldglass and Concur. Yet Oracle is not sitting still in the race to rapidly build out competitive capabilities through major acquisitions, but rather to…
An Oracle Solution Primer: E-Business Advanced Procurement in the Cloud Era - [PRO Content]
May 16, 2016 | Xavier Olivera
As noted in the Spend Matters Almanac, Oracle was one of the original pioneers in the e-procurement space, introducing its original iProcurement release, part of Electronic Business Suite (EBS) of integrated applications, well over a decade ago. Today, Oracle continues to offer iProcurement. But it also now delivers a cloud-based suite of applications known simply…
FusionOps: Vendor Analysis — Supply Chain Intelligence in the Cloud - [PRO Content]
April 28, 2016 | Michael Lamoureux and Jason Busch
FusionOps is a supply chain intelligence company founded in 2005 in Sunnyvale, California, to automate ERP-based business processes, such as direct materials procurement and supplier collaboration, that could not be accomplished effectively using the standalone sourcing and procurement solutions of the day. However, around 2009, the company switched directions — or “pivoted” in tech speak…

January 11, 2016 | Jason Busch
Formal partnerships and partnering strategies within the management consulting, systems integrator ecosystem and technology vendor ecosystem have taken a rather curious path with many twists and turns in the past two decades. Yet the biggest shift of all appears to be taking shape as we turn our calendar to 2016. This Spend Matters PRO research…
Infor Launches a New Supply Chain Concept: Cloud-based, Postmodern ERP - [PRO Content]
September 16, 2015 | Spend Matters Analyst Team
Earlier in the month, Infor announced it would acquire GT Nexus, a move that appears to strategically position Infor as a supply chain platform and network provider – 2 concepts that are related, but different. The deal represents something very different than just being a holding company for old ERP systems and a developer of…
Invoiceware Solves E-Invoicing Specific Country-by-Country Challenges - [PRO Content]
February 10, 2015 | Xavier Olivera
Latin American e-invoicing requirements vary significantly on a country-by-country basis. Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Ecuador, Uruguay, Peru and Colombia all have – or will soon have – unique requirements. Traditional P2P and e-invoicing systems from SAP, Ariba, Oracle, Coupa, Ivalua and others come up short for meeting these localized requirements. In this Spend Matters PRO…
