Spend Matters: Rearden and Ketera -- Acquisition Implications for Ketera Customers

Dec 2, 2010 While Rearden's acquisition of Ketera has many implications for the broader P2P and Spend Management market -- ranging from an evolving competitive landscape with greater choice of stable vendors for customers to a potential re-integration of P2P with travel and expense management -- a key area that we should not overlook is the implications of the deal for Ketera customers and organizations currently in the market for potential P2P solutions.

Spend Matters: With Ketera, Will Rearden Prove a Viable P2P Competitor to Ariba, Basware, Coupa, SAP, Oracle, etc.?

Sourcing Innovation: For an Alternative to the Ariba Supplier Network, Don't Overlook Ketera

Nov 9, 2010 Ever since Ariba decided to hike their already hefty fees, SpendMatters has been covering multiple Ariba Supplier Network Alternatives, including Hubwoo, Basware, and OB10, but has not made a peep about Ariba's smaller competitor further down the valley. Now, Ketera may not be as big or loud as Basware, Hubwoo, or OB10, but they have a fairly solid offering and one advantage the other guys don't have -- a very low price point, which is critical for the SME market who can't afford $20,000 a year just for the privilege of transacting online, which is not even close to new technology anymore
