Spend Matters released its E-Procurement SolutionMap(SM) in April - The first in a series of groundbreaking persona-based comparative vendor analyses for procurement professionals.
Now it is time to bring on your questions, such as:
- What is the ranking and weighing process?
- How do the analysts decide whom to include in SolutionMap?
- How did you solicit customer input?
- What are the requirements to be considered on future iterations of SolutionMap?
- Email your questions to info@spendmatters.com
- Each participating vendor completed an extensive RFI including a mandatory 90-minute live demo — in certain cases, the demonstrations were longer and carried out over multiple sessions
- In addition to the analyst rating, SolutionMap includes a customer rating based on real-life experiences with the solution
- Any vendor can request to participate in the RFI process (start by creating a free http://spendmatters.com/almanac/listing)
- The comparative, persona-based graphics are available for free to everyone; Be sure to download your copy in advance of this webinar: http://spendmatters.com/research/solutionmap-e-procurement-q2-2017/)
- Finally, SolutionMap is updated quarterly post launch to actively reflect market developments (and more and more vendors participating in the process). In a cloud world, vendors often update their solutions monthly or quarterly — and analyses should reflect this.
