Executive Summary

Measured purely on strength of functions, Emptoris is the top eSourcing suite vendor. With an edge over its closest competitor, Ariba, in key functions like spend analysis, supplier assessment, and optimized bid decisions, Emptoris got top scores in spend analysis, supplier discovery (tied with Ariba), supplier assessment (tied with Frictionless), RFx/reverse auctions, sourcing decision, and sourcing activity management (tied with Ariba). It ranks lower in features like integration (where its tools are in the middle of the pack) and hosted options (where it only offers hosting of licensed software and does not provide either fully-managed hosted sourcing or self-service shared-instance hosting). However, it gets top marks for its globalization features.
