eSourcing Suites Scorecard Summary: SAP

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)

SAP has been improving its eSourcing suite, but it still lags behind its direct competitor Oracle, not to mention top vendors like Ariba and Emptoris. It has good but not outstanding scores in most functions, with its best scores in supplier assessment and RFx and auction support (like most vendors). Weaknesses include spend analysis, supplier discovery, and sourcing activity management. It scored better in features like integration and globalization. SAP is investing in new capabilities, and it has the resources and focus to grow its presence in this market.
