Investment Flows To Supply Chain Technology Vendors: Who's Next?

Wow. On this first day of October, I reflect on September and am a little amazed by the changes in ownership at some of the supply chain technology vendors in the last month.

In case you missed it, here is a quick synopsis of a few deals that happened in the past few weeks:

September 24 - SciQuest goes public

September 27 - HighJump Software agrees to acquire TrueCommerce

September 27 - Madison Dearborn Partners agrees to acquire stake in Fieldglass

Mergers and acquisitions and initial public offerings within a certain vertical are often part of a trend that ripples on for some time. With three big events in a span of four days, it is looking like the beginning of a trend here.

So, the question is: which supply chain technology vendor is next?

I think by following the Gartner reports there may have some insight about it. I bet on Talent Management/Learning Management systems.
