D&B Risk Analytics vs. E2open

Great for vendor risk management and running financial health reports on our supplier base. In addition, our transactional banking team uses the platform (more specifically the Paydex score) to assess obligors and clients for financial health. I think the ESG component of the platform still needs more work. I don't think there's enough data in the industry to really make good predictive scores.

E2Open [Digital Transformation Solutions] is best used for customers/partners that do not have their own marketing automation software. It provides them a space to use already built in campaigns for use. A scenario where it may not be the best recommended tool is in a partner type scenario, such as ours. Currently, the tool does not have a fully customizable campaign for a partner to go in and build out a campaign from scratch. They can only take bits and pieces (depending on what is allowed) and make changes as they see fit.

E2Open [Digital Transformation Solutions] was very cost effective and does provide a simple tool for us to provide our partner network. We have a vast array of partners, some of which do not have any marketing expertise. This tool makes it that much easier for a partner to take advantage of a tool that does all ends of automation for them.

Incentivized

• We have had the solution for less than a year, so it is tough to say how much positive/negative impact it has had.
• We are now able to continuously monitor some entities in our supplier base. We were not able to do this before.

• The data that they organize for us, give clear sell in opportunities
• We can spend our marketing money better on the product that is not selling as much as expected
