Spend Matters Compass Research

Welcome to the Spend Matters Compass Series of Research
Spend Matters Compass, our new research offering, provides deeper research and analysis for free to Spend Matters readers. In each Compass series, we'll provide three to four downloadable PDF briefs on the subject of focus. Collectively, our hope is that each Compass series will serve as a useful and at least partially definitive guide for companies as they wrestle with the right set of technology, content, services, internal talent and process investments to get more from specific procurement and operations initiatives. Spend Matters sponsors have no additional opportunity to influence the content or research of Spend Matters relative to other software or services providers. We have designed Compass research with our readers' interests in mind to serve as an ideal form of accessible and highly objective research as well as thought leadership for sponsors to use in their sales efforts.
