CIOs and Procurement Pros Partner on Cloud Services
That was the not-so-subtle pitch CEO Rob Bernshteyn at Coupa Software made to 800 attendees at the Coupa Inspire 2014 event this week in San Francisco. Coupa, a cloud services provider, offers a host of tools for analytics, reporting, inventory, budget, cloud contracts and supplier visibility aimed at procurement professionals.
"This is our platform," Bernshteyn shouted repeatedly, not some add-on of an on-premises legacy ERP system installed in a bygone era when CIOs in a fiefdom would dictate what software tools business people used.

Earlier today, Coupa announced it was partnering with Alibaba.com, a company that was once really just a directory service for global suppliers. It has since become as diverse in its holdings (if not more so) than eBay. The purpose of the partnership seems straightforward, but Spend Matters has found that Alibaba

Coupa Links P2P and Supplier Search with Alibaba.com Partnership
In PRO research brief published earlier, I analyzed the implications of Coupa’s recently announced partnership with Alibaba.com, including what it could signal for Coupa’s strategy of working with potential other supplier directory and listing partners.

Here are the basics of the deal, according to Coupa’s press release
