Risk
For any buying organization, a major factor in selecting a supplier is managing risk. Will the supplier provide good customer service? Will they deliver on time? Will they stay in business? Will it be difficult to integrate PunchOut with them? Will their PunchOut site be available when I need to purchase?.
