SolutionMap Spring 2025: What to expect

The next Spring SolutionMap round, set to release in March, is shaping up to be very exciting. Analysts are currently scoring the participants.

This cycle, we have updated our overall RFI process. To ensure?SolutionMap addresses the evolving needs of procurement teams, our team has incorporated feedback from vendors, clients and the broader procurement community to further refine the RFI requirements.?

?

Our analysts have fine-tuned the scoring scales to reflect emerging trends like generative AI. These updates ensure SolutionMap remains the most comprehensive and relevant functionality assessment in procurement technology. Some of the innovations we’ve seen so far this cycle — like AI-driven orchestration and advanced analytics — are among the most impressive we’ve evaluated, and we’re looking forward to sharing them soon.

?

In the fall cycle, we introduced the TPRM/SCRM module, which provided a focused view of third-party and supply chain risk management, and added 15 new vendors. This year, we are building on that momentum by expanding our coverage to include a new Intake and Orchestration module, which will highlight solutions designed to streamline workflows and enhance collaboration.

?

SolutionMap is all about giving procurement teams the information needed for smart decision making. Vendors go through a detailed evaluation process, including over 500 RFI requirements and input from real customers.?

?

We’re excited to bring you the results of this new cycle, which reflects both the latest advancements in procurement technology and the priorities of today’s procurement teams.

Stay tuned!
