| Keywords: | Emptoris contract management suite |
Hoping to take strategic sourcing to a new level, Emptoris, Inc. today expanded its procurement software portfolio with the release of Emptoris 7, a scalable contract management suite that adds such functions as supplier performance measurements, best-value negotiation, and global program management. Emptoris, which was a Managing Automation Company to Watch in 2005, already offered a software suite that includes sourcing, contract management, and spend analysis, but the company says Emptoris 7 is its most significant release to date. The new release adds functionality related to supplier assessment and trend analysis. The company is also rolling out three versions of the software — referred to as the on-ramp offerings — that will allow companies to get up-and-running easily and expand functionality as business needs grow. The three versions are Emptoris Basic, a nuts-and-bolts version delivered as software-as-a-service (SaaS); Emptoris Professional, also delivered in the SaaS model, which expands the capabilities and services for companies moving to the next level of supply and contract management; and Emptoris Enterprise, which provides capabilities for companies looking to take their supply and contract management programs to the highest levels of value. The Enterprise version is available as either a service (SaaS) or deployed on-premise. [Click to continue] |
