Spend Matters editor Jason Busch has (or has had in the past) commercial relationships with many of the vendors and services providers in the Spend Management arena. These in no way impact his objectivity or focus on Spend Matters, but in the spirit of full disclosure his past and / or current client relationships include the following companies in the Spend Management sector: Aberdeen, Akoya, Amalto, Aptium Global, Archstone Consulting, Aravo, Ariba, BIQ, Basware, BravoSolution, Censeo Consulting, Citi, Claro, CombineNet, Corbus, Corporate United, CVM Solutions, Deloitte, D&B, Endeca, Enporion, Exostar, Emptoris, i2, Iasta, Infosys, Intesource, JVKellyGroup, Ketera, MFG.com, NPI, Paladin Associates, Provident Spend Management, SAP, SAS, Siemens, UGS, Workday and Zycus.
