I've used Emptoris in two jobs. The first place I used it (HBO), it was mostly used for eSourcing. I believe only the Procurement/Sourcing Department used it. At my current position (Chain IQ), we use it for Contract Management, eSourcing and Virtual Supply Master. The entire organization uses it since we are a Procurement Service provider.

eSourcing makes it easier to receive bid responses. Contract Management obviously makes it way easier to archive contracts. Virtual Supply Master is just an easy way to look up the details behind a supplier that we do business with.
  • eSourcing is very easy to use. It doesn't take long to setup an RFx. I like being able to have a place where everything is stored which makes potential audits more bearable.
  • I like being able to look up a contract quickly through Contract Management and have everything in one place.
  • I like being able to run reports through Contract Management. It makes tracking renewals a lot easier.
  • Not sure if these are Emptoris restrictions, or just restrictions setup by my organization, but I wish that there weren't so many tabs to fill out to archive a contract.
  • I wish that I could customize reports instead of exporting raw data and doing my own analysis.
  • I wish that we could easily change contracts into amendments and make sure they are linked appropriately. Currently, we have to delete the record and then recreate the amendment from the original contract.
Emptoris is all that I know. I have never used another system. I think that it has all the tools that I would need to work in a procurement/sourcing function.

  • 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.

In my previous organization, Emptoris was used as a contract module for supply chain/ procurement tying into SAP. The tool was more or less an advanced repository.
  • The product was user friendly.
  • Integrated well with legacy and existing systems.
  • Support and training offered by IBM was top notch.
  • Certain components could not update properly with integration at first.
  • Cost was greater than some competitors.
  • Integration took longer than anticipated.
I think for whatever the tool was lacking, IBM could come up with a solution rather quickly.

  • Control measures to see where agreements were getting bogged down in internal approval process.
  • Lead time features were utilized well to understand timeliness.
  • Business unit support increased.
  • Agreement visibility improved.
  • Communication between business units improved.
I would say there are positives and negatives to all. Emptoris seemed to be more advanced in progression of their tool. Others seem to have created a tool to meet a customers need and was not part of their core business model or competency.

Emptoris was extremely user-friendly and capable of including a wealth of necessary information when inputting contracts. Although I used Emptoris in my department, it was also used in many different departments and in different capacities.
  • The software categorizes different types of providers.
  • The software allows different reports to be used/pulled for data reasons.
  • The software allows multiple addresses to be used/ for different reasons.
  • Sometimes the software can be a little slow.
  • Possibly create a short cut when certain addresses/name don't have be inputted so many times. Create an auto-entry.
