WASHINGTON, Feb. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Exiger, the market-leading supply chain AI company announced today that it has been named to The Hackett Group's 2025-2026 "50 to Know" list as part of its annual assessment of the global procurement technology market. "50 to Know" highlights solutions every CPO should know about, spotlighting leading procurement technology providers like Exiger that are demonstrating proven capability, market impact and sustained customer value.

This year's evaluation reflects a rapidly evolving procurement technology landscape, with AI-enabled capabilities now widely embedded across platforms and solution categories. As organizations seek measurable outcomes from technology investments, differentiation is increasingly driven by how effectively providers translate innovation into practical, scalable results.

"Being recognized by The Hackett Group reinforces what we see every day: procurement has become the operational command center for enterprise resilience, competitiveness, and growth," said Exiger CEO Brandon Daniels. "CPOs are being asked to move faster, see deeper into their supply chains, and make decisions today that support their organization's long-term readiness for years to come. We combine evergreen supplier data, domain-specific risk AI, and agentic workflows to deliver decision-ready courses of action, strengthening, streamlining, and expediting procurement decisions. We're proud to stand with the customers and partners redefining modern procurement."

"[Exiger's] enhancements further strengthen its AI-driven risk discovery, entity resolution and continuous monitoring capabilities, combining machine intelligence with expert analysis to deliver highly granular insights at speed and scale. A key differentiator is its ability to analyze risk at the component, hardware and software level," said Bertrand Maltaverne, Lead Analyst, Upstream Procurement at Hackett Group.

The lists are compiled by The Hackett Group's Solution Intelligence analysts, formerly the Spend Matters™ analyst team. Selection is informed by year-round market monitoring, detailed briefings, product demonstrations and direct engagement with procurement technology providers. Vendor evaluation follows a rigorous, data-driven approach based on criteria, including technology capability, solution maturity, innovation, customer adoption and overall market impact. For the 2025–2026 lists, The Hackett Group^® evaluated approximately 220 procurement technology vendors globally.
