“Enterprises and government agencies need more efficient and flexible procurement systems to adapt to ongoing changes in business, technology, economic and political conditions”
The study results will be published in three comprehensive ISG Provider Lens™ reports, the first two — Procurement BPO and Transformation Services and Procurement Software Platforms and Solutions — geared toward enterprise buyers, and the third — Procurement BPO, Transformation and Software Platforms – U.S. Public Sector — oriented toward government buyers. Scheduled to be released in March, the reports will cover providers of procurement software, solutions, business process outsourcing (BPO) and transformation services for organizations seeking more agile and efficient procurement systems.
Enterprise and U.S. public sector buyers will be able to use information from the reports to evaluate their current vendor relationships, potential new engagements and available offerings, while ISG advisors use the information to recommend providers to the firm’s buy-side clients.
The reports will examine how procurement providers can help enterprises and government entities modernize their procurement capabilities for the post-pandemic world. In the past three years, supply chain breakdowns caused by labor scarcity, materials shortages and transportation disruptions have exposed the increasingly urgent need for almost every organization to improve its procurement operations.
“Enterprises and government agencies need more efficient and flexible procurement systems to adapt to ongoing changes in business, technology, economic and political conditions,” said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. “They are under growing pressure to improve procurement — and at a faster pace — as part of overall digital transformation.”
ISG has distributed surveys to approximately 40 procurement BPO and transformation services providers. Working in collaboration with ISG’s global advisors, the research team will produce four quadrants representing the procurement BPO and transformation services the typical enterprise is buying, based on ISG’s experience working with its clients. The four quadrants, two each for large enterprises and mid-sized enterprises, will cover:

- Transformation Consulting Services, covering providers of continuously evolving digital transformation services that help enterprises reconceptualize procurement as a set of functions that can be adapted to changing business requirements.
In addition, ISG has distributed surveys to approximately 70 providers of procurement software platforms and solutions. The research team will produce two separate quadrants, one each for large and mid-sized enterprises, covering the buying behavior of each customer segment in this core quadrant:
- Software Platforms and Solutions, covering procurement platforms that build on current organizational knowledge and continually integrate new digital technologies to adapt to generational changes affecting business success.
Both the Procurement BPO and Transformation Services report and the Procurement Software Platforms and Solutions report will cover the global market.
Finally, ISG has distributed surveys to approximately 100 public sector procurement providers. The research team will produce three quadrants geared to the unique needs of government buyers:
- Software Platforms and Solutions, assessing procurement platform providers with expertise in public sector procurement functions, processes and user interface/user experience (UI/UX) requirements.
- BPO Services, covering procurement BPO providers that can optimize public sector procurement with improved efficiency, including with AI and analytics tools, and lay the foundation for long-term improvement of procurement processes.
- Transformation Consulting Services, covering providers that help public sector organizations develop and adapt procurement and business strategies, including organizational design and change management and automation strategy and implementation.
The Procurement BPO, Transformation and Software Platforms – U.S. Public Sector report will cover the U.S. procurement market for state and municipal government entities, including education and public health agencies.
