Ivalua’s MS Office Approach To Acquisitions
November 3, 2017
Energized and rapid is the best way that I can describe this morning’s interview with Ivalua CMO Alex Saric regarding the company’s recent acquisition of Directworks. In fact, I would be hard-pressed to remember any other segment that had a similar sprint-like pace to today’s show. That said, it was also one of […]
Who Is Bob Solomon @bsolomon10?
July 20, 2017
I inadvertently stumbled upon a blog post in my email by Bob Solomon titled The Forrester Wave™: eProcurement, Q2 2017. Usually, when I receive a Magic Quadrant or Forrester Wave notification I dismiss it as most of my readers consider such things to be either industry propaganda or as one so eloquently put it; “a paid infomercial.” Although […]
Friday Musings: Why Reese’s would approve of PROACTIS’ Acquisition of Perfect Commerce
July 7, 2017
By now you have already heard the news that UK-based PROACTIS is acquiring US-based Perfect Commerce. Besides providing further evidence that we are at the very beginning of a looming M&A upswing, it is also a sign that these companies have come to the realization that rather than attempting to penetrate new global markets […]
A $70 Million KKR Investment And A Series Of Big Client Wins: Ivalua SVP Joshi Tells All
April 27, 2017
Today at Noon ET I will be joined by Ivalua’s SVP Sales and Business Development Amol Joshi to talk about the upstart company’s big win with the State of Arizona. Ironically, the use of the term upstart is somewhat deceiving, because Ivalua has been around for 15 years. The moniker, however, is appropriate because the win with […]

“Ivalua is excited to be awarded the business for Source-to-Pay solution along with our partner KPMG. State of Arizona Procurement and IT teams have been leaders in procurement transformation and have been using procurement technology for the last 8 years. As the State looks to start the next leg of their transformation journey, a modern, […]
Who won Arizona?
March 30, 2017
Earlier this week I had been made aware of recent developments in Arizona. While I was told to whom the State had awarded the contract for the RFP referenced in my July 26th, 2016 post titled Periscope Letter Protesting Arizona RFP Eye Opening, I am waiting to reveal this information until I have had the opportunity to […]

Forrester SVM Wave, a holistic take on Source to Pay: Specialist vendors break out from the ERP pack
March 25, 2022
0
(Forrester’s SVM (Supplier Value Management) essentially corroborates to “Source to Pay”, which is the more commonly used terminology amongst procurement practitioners). From an analysts’ research point of view, the Source to Pay segment has had a huge strategic coverage void. While most analyst firms produced reports on specific parts of the S2P cycle (e.g., S2C, […]
