Cloud e-procurement is procurement. It’s time to declare CD versions of e-procurement software — and in most cases, broader procure-to-pay (P2P) solutions, inclusive of e-invoicing — dead. Cloud e-procurement has not only become the de facto standard for even large companies going into new software selection processes. It is also now the perceived migration path for the majority of those organizations that we have spoken to recently that have previously deployed and installed software solutions such as Ariba Buyer, SAP SRM, Oracle eBusiness Suite or PeopleSoft SRM.
