"The analysis of prior spend decisions and their business impact is vital to strategic sourcing and conducting new online sourcing events, as well as to inform future spend allocation choices," stated Rich Wilson, Chief Executive Officer of CombineNet. "By integrating a robust, easily accessible spend analysis solution with our world-class e-sourcing product, we are giving customers two powerful best-of-breed technologies to help boost their business results."
Like CombineNet ASAP, CombineNet Spend Analysis is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based product, allowing for swift user implementation, a high degree of transparency, and instant access to the latest available features and enhancements.
Key features of CombineNet Spend Analysis, powered by Spend Radar, include:
-- A rapid-ROI implementation process involving initial cleansing and
classification of data that is completed within weeks, coupled with
end-user training and rollout.
-- Ease in sharing spend analytics data with sourcing data from the
CombineNet ASAP e-sourcing product to improve spend and sourcing
decisions, particularly when collaborating with business stakeholders
and potential suppliers.
-- A product architecture designed specifically for transparently managing
spend data, getting companies close to 99% of their data being
accurately classified. All types of currencies, languages, and data
classifications/taxonomies are supported.
-- Reports provided in a visual, interactive method that simplifies complex
analysis and provides visibility to organization-wide data to make the
right decisions with the right information.
-- Flexibility for customers to determine and apply appropriately tailored
business rules, standard and customized data taxonomies (e.g. UNSPSC® -
United Nations Standard Products and Services Code), and algorithms for
classifying spend data and conducting analysis.
-- Faster ongoing classification and management of data refreshes that is
supported through customer-tailored rules and algorithms for
auto-classifications, and flexible support for multiple simultaneous
classification taxonomies.
-- Web-based solution that can be accessed anywhere, at any time, to get to
the data you want and to improve management of spend.
"We partnered with Spend Radar to deliver this joint solution to customers, because they have become a demonstrated industry leader in advancing spend analysis well beyond simple snapshots of spend data," stated Dean Arnold, Vice President of Strategic Business Development at CombineNet. "In addition, our customers focus on key value themes when choosing technology-enabled solutions in spend management: speed and ease of implementation, as well as capabilities to continuously improve processes while driving sustainable business results."
"We are very excited to form this partnership with CombineNet," said Spend Radar Chief Executive Officer Brian Daniels. "Our spend analysis software combined with CombineNet's e-sourcing technology will provide a best-in-class solution for their clients based on two industry-leading technologies."
