The First New “Spider” Map:

On The First But Missing From The Follow-Up Spider Map Below:

  • Rosslyn Analytics (Analytics Section)
  • ConvergentIS (Intake Section)
  • Zycus (E-Sourcing Section)

So, what does this map really mean for practitioners looking to select a ProcureTech solution provider in one of the three areas I have highlighted above, e.g., Analytics, Intake, and E-Sourcing?

I conducted a preliminary review using the RAM 2025 4-Model Assessment Tool. I still have to run it through the second-level AI self-learning algorithm process. However, these initial results provide a good starting point for discussion and review.

FIRST-RUN ANALYTICS (MODEL 1)

Based on available data and practitioner feedback, here’s a comparative ranking of eight ProcureTech analytics solution providers, ordered by their estimated effectiveness in delivering procurement practitioner success:


ProcureTech Analytics Providers Ranked by Practitioner Success


Note: These rankings are based on available data, user reviews, and industry reports. Actual success rates may vary depending on specific organizational needs and implementation contexts. This is where RAM 2025’s second-level AI self-learning algorithms come in.

FIRST-RUN INTAKE (MODEL 1)

Based on available data and practitioner feedback, here’s a comparative ranking of seven ProcureTech analytics solution providers, ordered by their estimated effectiveness in delivering procurement practitioner success:


ProcureTech Intake Providers Ranked by Practitioner Success


Note: These rankings are based on available data, user reviews, and industry reports. Actual success rates may vary depending on specific organizational needs and implementation contexts. This is where RAM 2025’s second-level AI self-learning algorithms come in.

FIRST-RUN E-SOURCING (MODEL 1)

Based on available data and practitioner feedback, here’s a comparative ranking of eight ProcureTech e-sourcing solution providers, ordered by their estimated effectiveness in delivering procurement practitioner success:

Note: These rankings are based on available data, user reviews, and industry reports. Actual success rates may vary depending on specific organizational needs and implementation contexts. This is where RAM 2025’s second-level AI self-learning algorithms come in.

TODAY’S TAKEAWAY

In this first-level preliminary run, the above information is based on the RAM 2025 4-Model Assessment Tool.

However, the next “second-level” run will drill down beyond the available information above and leverage the AI self-learning algorithms to assess the targeted viability and likely performance of the referenced solution providers in delivering the optimal outcomes to specific industry sectors. In short, the percentages and rankings will likely change to reflect how each ProcureTech solution provider aligns with their ideal industry sector client. That is the ultimate goal.

All this being said, the above rankings are notable because they are based on multiple information sources, including the Procurement Insights archives, and therefore stimulate meaningful questions and discussions that ideally aim to reduce the high generational ProcureTech implementation failure rate.
