Helsinki, Finland – April 20, 2026 –
In addition to its SolutionMap Validated status, Sievo earned three additional distinctions for functional capability, innovation, and verified customer value:
SolutionMap assessments are conducted by The Hackett Group's Solution Intelligence analysts, formerly the Spend Matters™ analyst team. Each evaluation is built on 500+ detailed functional and capability criteria, mandatory product demonstrations, and impartial, anonymized, verified customer value ratings.
The result is an independent, evidence-based view of the procurement technology landscape that procurement leaders rely on when evaluating solutions, building business cases, and gaining internal buy-in for technology investments.
“In today’s market, ‘build vs. buy’ decisions are increasingly driven by AI claims – and those claims are hard to validate. SolutionMap turns solution intelligence into decision-grade insurance by helping teams shortlist faster, de-risk selections, and separate real capability from marketing narrative”, says Carina Kuhl, Principal, Solution Intelligence at The Hackett Group®.
As AI-enabled capabilities become more widely embedded across procurement platforms, the bar for meaningful differentiation continues to rise. Procurement professionals are making technology decisions that carry real consequences for their organizations' performance and their own credibility. SolutionMap is designed to give them the facts they need to select best-fit solutions with confidence and give providers a trusted platform to demonstrate why they belong on the shortlist.
“We’re proud to be recognized by The Hackett Group® at a time when procurement technology is being redefined. Procurement analytics is becoming less about dashboards and charts and more about the quality of data and intelligence underneath them, and ultimately the outcomes they enable for the business. That is what this recognition reflects, and where we remain focused”, says Sammeli Sammalkorpi, CEO & Co-founder of Sievo.
