Strategic Focus

At Emptoris, we're passionate about harnessing innovation to drive positive business impact. We're driven by it. It's this principle that led us to pioneer the use of optimization in strategic sourcing back in 1999. Since then, we've invested a third of our revenue back into research and development and continue to bring new innovations to market. Our focus is on supply and contract management software solutions that empower enterprises to realize best value and accelerate profitable growth.

We're committed to ensuring that our customers succeed in meeting, and often surpassing, their business objectives. We do so by bringing to bear not only our functionally-rich suite of solutions, but also our domain expertise and that of our partners. To meet the needs of our customers flexibly, we offer both software installed on-premise and Software-as-a-Service.

The impact of our innovation and customer focus is obvious as our customers have achieved broad public recognition for their success:

• GlaxoSmithKline won the Baseline Magazine 2005 ROI Leadership Award for achieving a 5,452% annualized return-on-investment using Emptoris.
• Vodafone received the 2005 InfoWorld 100 Project of the Year Award for its deployment of an innovative supply management solution, Emptoris, to meet business goals.
