I heard from a major procurement vendor today that they are initiating a “tax” on customers that integrate to their platform- by charging a fee for each connection to a heterogeneous system. Although I was surprised to hear that, it is perfectly logical. This vendor offers a variety of procurement apps, but in many cases their customers opt for a best-of- breed module to support certain processes. So if the vendor can’t get the license revenue by getting customers to use their app, well at least this way they get a cut. Buyer Beware!
