With IBM’s acquisition of Emptoris the other shoe drops vis-à-vis the latter’s 2009 acquisition of Click Commerce or . . . will Jason Busch finally get what I was saying!
December 22, 2011
Jon, I had a lot more respect for you before this post. Seriously, you seem to dismiss the market dynamics of acquisitions as not consequential, referencing indirectly what I wrote. But in doing so, you’re actually showing a complete lack of knowledge of what happens after software acquisitions and their impact on customers! comment by […]
Blinded by familiarity, Jason Busch gets called out by a vendor for missing the mark
December 1, 2011
However, we took slight offence to his comment “Still, as far as we’re aware, Ariba is the first provider in the Spend Management sector of any material size/market share in a given product area to make a product free for buying organizations.” Why are we offended? Well, Jason himself reviewed our free e-Sourcing offering over five […]
Busch and Hansen’s Shared Views on Ariba Dummies Book is Bad News for the Much Maligned Vendor
November 19, 2010
It is safe to say that both Jason Busch and I have not always seen eye-to-eye. In fact one might even suggest that our “spirited” exchanges have been more reflective of cantankerous old men (not that either of us is old), trading barbs across an unbridgeable gulf of opposing views. It is not a matter […]
Spend Matters’ Recent Guest Author Post Underlines How The Industry Has Lost Its Objectivity through Familiarity
September 7, 2010
Earlier today I posted an article titled “OECM Pulls (or Perhaps “Censors” is the right word) their SlideShare PowerPoint: Thank goodness for downloads!” in which I talk about how the relationship between vendors, purportedly independent industry analysts, and client-side senior management highlighted in “The Bands of Public Sector Supplier Engagement,” is far too “mafia-style” for everyone’s good. […]
OECM Pulls (or Perhaps “Censors” is the right word) their SlideShare PowerPoint: Thank goodness for downloads!
September 7, 2010
In a Goodfellas or Casino-type of move – re burying the proverbial body in the desert, the OECM pulled their PowerPoint presentation from SlideShare. As you will recall, this was the presentation to which I had provided a link in my September 1st post “OECM Punts Ariba, Taking a $20 Million Dollar Hit In The Process?” […]
While Rome Burns, Jason Busch Talks About Remodelling The City
September 3, 2010
I want to tell you right up front that I do not actually go looking to shoot holes into the concepts or ideas that are presented by the fellow pundits within the purchasing and supply chain world. This is largely due to the fact that being the writer/editor of six blogs (and growing), the number […]
The Cure for Enterprise Software Fatigue
July 14, 2010
Whenever I am contacted by a vendor for a “pre” press release briefing, I always go into the discussion with one part interest, one part cynicism and one part optimism. The interest of course is part of my natural curiosity about almost anything – which is why I guess I enjoy hosting a talk radio […]

With the announcement of powerful, social network-oriented updates will critical mainstream pundits finally see WhyAbe as something more than a small offering from a boutique firm?

New enhancements benefit both the buying community and the suppliers that service them. The free site just added new ways for its users to benefit from registering. Buyers may now increase the exposure of their event by sharing it via social media links plugins to sites like Facebook, Google, Twitter, and more. Suppliers can use […]
