Coupa Recognized as a Leader for Sourcing Applications in IDC 2018 MarketScape Report
High return on investment, configurability without IT and rapid adoption rates listed as strengths
San Mateo, CA - April 5, 2018 - Coupa Software (NASDAQ:COUP), a leader in business spend management (BSM), was named a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide SaaS and Cloud-Enabled Sourcing Applications 2018 Vendor Assessment for capabilities and strategies. This latest Leader recognition brings Coupa’s total to four within the last year in IDC MarketScape reports.
References for Coupa’s Sourcing Optimization, according to the report, noted the following areas of measurable business value:
- High return on investment;
- A unified cloud platform that extends to ERP and is configurable without IT or consulting expertise; and
- Rapid adoption rates as learning is easy and intuitive within the system and includes 100 percent mobility.
“We are proud to be named a Leader for the fourth time this year in an IDC MarketScape report,” said Rob Bernshteyn, CEO, Coupa. “This recognition further validates that our comprehensive approach to solving the business spend management problem delivers measurable value for customers, across several areas including travel & expense management, procure-to-pay, and now sourcing."
According to the IDC MarketScape sourcing report, Coupa provides easy-to-use capabilities that let anyone in the approval chain set up new events from scratch or copy all or parts of previous events. It allows organizations to effectively manage their RFPs and RFQs and provides complete flexibility in setting up the rules of engagement and communicating with bidders. The sourcing cockpit-like environment allows both buyers and watchers to monitor the progress or sourcing events and drive negotiations. Full sourcing bid optimization capabilities allow for complex events such as global logistics and raw materials to be handled easily.
Coupa, according to the IDC MarketScape sourcing report, should be considered by businesses of any size if they need “a holistic and extremely encompassing, unified sourcing and procurement platform that is available anywhere and anytime.”
