Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

GEP SMART

  • GEP sells the software, the consulting and the outsourced procurement team, so the vendor measuring the savings is often the vendor delivering them, which makes independent verification difficult.
  • Nothing is published and reported entry points around half a million US dollars a year exclude implementation, which GEP typically delivers itself rather than through a competing integrator.
  • Implementation being delivered by the vendor limits the pool of independent consultants who can advise you during the project or take over afterwards.
  • Combined software and services engagements are difficult to unwind, because replacing the platform also means rebuilding procurement capability the outsourcer was providing.
  • The platform is scoped for very large enterprises, so mid-market organisations face both a price and a complexity floor that no module selection brings down.

Infor CloudSuite

  • No price, per user rate, minimum or contract term is published for CloudSuite; the site routes buyers to a sales contact form
  • Infor Velocity Suite is advertised as one flat fee but no amount is published
  • CloudSuite runs on Amazon Web Services only, with no other cloud or on premises option stated on the page
  • Functionality is packaged as industry specific CloudSuites rather than one general ERP product
