Emptoris, Inc. has released Emptoris 7, its software suite for supply and contract management. The suite allows companies to scale from basic to extended usage without switching platforms or underlying technology, the vendor said. Version 7 includes applications for contract management, sourcing, spend analysis and compliance, along with expanded supplier performance-management functionality. With the release of Emptoris 7, the company has introduced "easy on-ramp" tools for users looking for varying levels of sourcing, contracts and spend-analysis applications. Emptoris Basic offers essential capabilities and fast-deployment options. Emptoris Professional is for companies moving to the next level of supply and contract management. Emptoris Enterprise takes applications to the highest level. All three options are delivered in a hosted (software as a service) mode; Emptoris Enterprise is also available as an on-premises deployment.
