Emptoris (acquired by IBM, sunset in 2017) launches a new version of its new integrated suite this week with enhanced spend analytics and spend management capability. Check back here on Sourcing Innovation later this week. I’d also keep an eye on Spend Matters which has had some great coverage of Emptoris in the past.
Iasta (acquired by Selectica,merged with b-Pack, renamed Determine, acquired Corcentric) just launched it’s brand new website in preparation for its forthcoming SmartSource 7.0 release which will integrate with their new and improved SmartAnalytics and be supported by their new Spend Velocity programs. Also, hidden betwixt the pages is their announcement of their new annual Iasta reSource user group conference next May. With the Indy 500 only two weeks after the conference, there are sure to be some great lead up events going on in town at that time. I’ll be covering the new Iasta release here on Sourcing Innovation in a week or two, so keep an eye out.
