eSourcing Suites Scorecard Summary: Perfect Commerce

Key Findings From "The Forrester Wave™: eSourcing Suites, Q4 2005"

by Andrew Bartels

with John Ragsdale, Tom Pohlmann, G. Oliver Young, Katherine Brown


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Perfect Commerce provides a good balance of functionality and price. Its current offering scored in the middle of the pack, on par with PeopleSoft and SAP and slightly behind Oracle and Global eProcure. Its strengths include good modules for spend analysis, supplier assessment, and RFx and reverse auctions. However, supplier discovery and sourcing decision tools are average, and sourcing activity management is below average. It has good integration tools, but hosting options are limited — it only offers a shared-instance application service provider (ASP) hosting — and globalization needs work. Still, its relatively low price and adequate functions make it an attractive option for sub-Global 2000 companies with relatively straightforward sourcing needs. Perfect has also done well financially, thanks to revenues from its eProcurement product and supplier network, making Perfect a relatively safe choice.
