上周在一个不安的夜晚，我决定快速努力近年来收购了许多花费的赞助商。不计算阿巴巴，我们永恒地感激他们在启动网站时初步支持，数字令人惊叹：八。
这是对的，八个赞助商 - 至少通过我的伯爵 - 近年来被收购（计数阿巴巴，它将是九个）。几乎所有所获得的采购公司以及许多人都在进行收购，都有正式赞助，与消费或者联盟公司的广告存在或关系。以下是一些赞助商名称（以及获取公司）：
- 花雷达（Sciquest）
- 上行（可怜的）
- BIQ (Opera)
- VerticalNet (Bravosolution.)
- JV Kelly Group（D＆B）
- CombineNet (SciQuest)
- MarketMaker4 (Xchanging)
- IBX (Capgemini)
Beside this list, ouradvisory armhas been actively engaged as a consultant (mostly on the buy-side) in numerous other transactions that have taken place in the sector over the years – and, to be fair, some that have fizzled. One could say that Spend Matters has become the “market maker” for procurement software and solutions buyouts. It’s a curious label indeed, but not so ironic given the Xchanging and MarketMaker4 (MM4) transaction today.
My shameless plug here is that we currently have one Spend Matters Associate Sponsorship opening available. If someone takes the spot in the next week, I’ll personally toss in a half-day strategy session in Chicago on sector M&A and how to best position for an ideal exit from a timing, valuation, and potential suitor perspective—and I'll add in another hour if someone on the team wants to go for an early morning run and wants to talk on the fly. Or we could flip this and do a buy-side M&A analysis meeting, depending on who the provider is and what they want.
但对于提供商来说，我建议快速移动（当场），也有您的并购计划。2014年可能是进一步的部门合并和一些最大的交易（不计算SAP / ARIBA） - 以及至少一个或两次采购IPO。正在准备 - 被发现或发现的前沿和中心 - 并不是偶然发生的事情。
