In an effort to better understand the use of supplier networks today, the Supplier Networks v2.0: A Look at Commerce in the Cloud study examines the results of over 120 survey respondents, with a specific emphasis on how the functionality of supplier networks has expanded beyond the traditional perceptions of transaction centered vehicles for procurement. With 57% of respondents indicating supplier networks are very important to the enterprise, Aberdeen explores the impact supplier networks are having on spend management at large, and shares some of the emerging trends based on the example of Best-in-Class companies.
