This year marks the sixth annual release of the ‘50 to Know’ and ‘50 to Watch’, and we are beyond thrilled to be doing it LIVE in conjunction with the SIG Global Executive Summit. The lists will be published on Tuesday, October 12. Any vendor present at the Summit who is also on one of the lists will receive their award plaque (in person!) from Spend Matters. We’re excited to pose for photos with those vendors present and share the good news all over Spend Matters social accounts.

Just Announced: 50 Providers to Know and 50 Providers to Watch

50 providers to know, 50 providers to watch

Spend Matters has just released its 7th annual “50 Providers to Know/50 Providers to Watch” lists. Each year, Spend Matters’ technology analysts assess the capabilities for an array of companies across 13 market sectors and releases its lists of 100 vendors in the industry. These represent the best-in-class companies you need to know about as well as the up-and-coming, growing firms to keep your eye on.

Providers to Know

Among this year’s vendors are 11 companies that have earned the “50 Providers to Know” distinction each of the seven years the lists have been published! These include Accenture, Achilles, Basware, Beeline, Coupa (including Trade Extensions and Spend 360), Deloitte Consulting, GEP, Insight Sourcing Group (including SpendHQ), Ivalua, Jaggaer and The Hackett Group. These vendors sit alongside AppZen and Rosslyn Analytics, which are brand-new “to Know” companies for 2020.

Providers to Watch

Eight vendors jumped from the Watch to the Know list in 2020, they are Agiloft, Celonis, ConnXus, Lease Accelerator, MBO Partners, NPI, Per Angusta and Tipalti. More than half of the “50 Providers to Watch” list represents new honorees, with 34 new companies included, four of which are start-ups featured on the 2019 Spend Matters “Future 5” list — Bid Ops, Fairmarkit, Negotiatus and SupplyHive.

This year’s digital release of the lists will be accompanied by social and video content to spread the word throughout the procurement community leading up to the digital SIG Procurement Technology Summit, beginning May 11.
