And this model seemed to crash and burn.<\/p>\n<p>Early on, Elcom, a spend management solutions provider pushed for this model. Elcom struggled mightily but has survived and still seems to be a player in the market. But now it seems that things are coming full circle in this particular approach to using spend management solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Years ago, at a previous employer, we tried the hosted model for our eProcurement system. And then we ultimately brought it in-house for installation on our own servers.<\/p>\n<p>The software providers just seemed to be good at software but horribly bad at hosting. Some spend management solutions providers partnered with third-party data centers for the hosting, but it seemed that all of those data centers were poorly funded and on the verge of financial collapse.<\/p>\n<p>Today, years later, it appears that solutions providers are revisiting this model. Hopefully smarter, though!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/individuals\/membership\/\">Become a member of one of the world\u2019s largest procurement associations today.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/news\/purchasing-articles\/effective-spend-management-transformation\/\">Effective Spend Management &amp; Transformation<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/news\/purchasing-articles\/enterprise-spend-management\/\">Enterprise Spend Management<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/blog\/the-spend-supply-management-debate\/\">The Spend &amp; Supply Management Debate<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/blog\/a-spend-management-development\/\">A Spend Management Development\u2026<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/news\/purchasing-articles\/powerful-approach-for-managing-your-spend-and-risk\/\">Powerful Approach for Managing Your Spend and Risk<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/blog\/spend-management-solutions\/\">Spend Management Solutions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/news\/purchasing-articles\/enterprise-spend-management\/\">Spend Management Technology Trends<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/lms.nextlevelpurchasing.com\"><strong>NLPA Learning<\/strong><\/a>, the new home to all of our certifications and online courses.
