Simfoni Retains Value Leader Position in Fall 2022 Spend Matters SolutionMap
Simfoni, the next-generation digital solutions provider for procurement intelligence and spend automation today announced it has retained its position as Value Leader in the Fall 2022 Spend Matters Solution Map in the categories of Spend Analytics and Sourcing. This marks the seventh consecutive year Simfoni has been ranked a solution leader in these respective categories.
Known as the most rigorous, data and intelligence-based assessment of procurement technology functionality in the industry, SolutionMap contains 500+ RFI requirements across 10 source-to-pay (S2P) modules and suite categories, highlighting the definitive capabilities of each participating vendor. Customer feedback and analyst scoring, together, factor into the overall vendor rankings. According to Ron Emma, Simfoni CEO, Strategic Spend, “We are very excited to see Simfoni retain its position as a value leader on the 2022 SolutionMap for Spend Analytics and Sourcing. While we continue to appreciate the support and recognition from industry-leading experts, like Spend Matters, having our customer’s experience weigh into these rankings makes the results even more meaningful to us. It signifies that we are continuing to deliver on our commitments to our clients, and they are receiving the value and anticipated benefits from using our solutions.”
Additionally, Simfoni was also included in Spend Matters’ newly launched Carbon Management module for its rapid procurement technology selection tool, TechMatch. Procurement teams are increasingly tasked with reducing “upstream Scope 3 emissions,” and it takes a massive effort to assess the carbon footprints supply chains create. So, Spend Matters has developed Carbon Management TechMatch to help procurement organizations efficiently and effectively identify their best-fit carbon management tool.
