My review on Emptoris from a Buyer's Perspective
- I am not part of the ROI part of the business. I can only say that using Emptoris makes my life a lot easier in terms of time saving. That way I can focus more time on other things. I think this leads to better customer service.

Emptoris- An efficient tool for improving Contracts Management & Procurement activities
- Enhanced spend analytics which helps in planning project better
- Better contract management and tracking
- More eRFX & eAuctions lead to more automated & standardized processes
- Reporting tool still needs improvement (we use another internal tool for customized reporting)

Return your annual investment Day 1
- We won the 2005 Baseline Magazine Award for best ROI related to a technology implementation with an ROI 5544% (see 2005 Baseline ROI Awards, GlaxoSmithkline).
- We always felt we could do "two times the work, with half the people and deliver double the savings".

Great customization options -- with certain limitations
- Increased ability to manage risk by ensuring all contract negotiators are working from the same standard template when they start each new contract - much better than using various iterations of Save-As Word documents
- Increased visibility into contract repository - much easier to see contract inventory within the Emptoris repository instead of filing cabinets full of contracts and Word docs saved to shared drives

Emptoris Review - Very Powerful and flexible integrated solutions for experienced eSourcing practitioners
- We have a very good ROI over the first 3 years, being able to run several eRFx
- Only a few eAuctions were run in the tool (requires higher level and skills).
- Spend analytics is definitely a tool to consider but implementation takes always longer than planned.

Emptoris Contract Management & You

- Allows users to insert name, address, etc. fields into contracts so contracts can be custom-generated easily.
- Great tracking of revisions and status to show differences in custom contracts that deviate from the standard.

Emptoris review from Network Development
- The only negative impact is doing the legacy load it is a very manual process.
- The positive impact would be the time saved in creating contracts and sharing with providers.
- The positive impact is the reporting that's great.
