About this time last year, Scout RFP made headlines by being acquired by Workday, a provider of finance and HR solutions. The acquisition itself might not have been a huge surprise, given that Workday was an investor in the company already, but the valuation of Scout RFP raised an eyebrow or two (see在这里for more info).
起初，它是作为“Scout RFP（一家工作日公司）”运营的但最近，正式更名为Workday Strategic Sourcing。随着收购成为更大的Workday组织中更完整的一部分，这是一种自然的演变。也就是说，目前还没有重新形成的计划。Workday Strategic Sourcing仍将是一个单独的解决方案，尽管它将更广泛地集成到Workday产品的其他部分。
Since our last analysis, Workday has added contract management and some interesting bid analytics and negotiation support capabilities.
In this two-part Spend Matters PRO about Workday Strategic Sourcing, we will take a closer look at the company and its solution — and then offer details on seven solution modules, do a SWOT analysis and discuss Workday’s competitors in the e-sourcing market.
