LEHI, Utah, Sept. 22, 2026 — Graphite Connect, the leading global solution for supplier management, today announced it has been recognized as a validated provider in The Hackett Group’s Fall 2026 SolutionMap technology assessment.
Graphite Connect was evaluated as part of an assessment spanning 122 providers across 16 source-to-pay (S2P) categories.
In addition to its SolutionMap Validated status, Graphite received a Top Tech distinction in Supplier Management, recognizing its standout functional capability and innovation.
SolutionMap assessments are conducted by The Hackett Group’s Solution Intelligence Technology Advisors. Each evaluation incorporates 500+ detailed functional and capability assessments; mandatory product demonstrations; and impartial, anonymized, verified customer value ratings. The result is an independent, evidence-based view of the technology landscape that helps buyers compare providers, evaluate trade-offs and validate market claims.
“Procurement technology decisions carry real organizational risk,” said Bryan DeGraw, Solution Intelligence Principal, The Hackett Group. “When a provider appears in SolutionMap, it means they’ve earned their place through a process built on 500+ capability criteria, mandatory demonstrations and verified customer ratings – not marketing claims. Buyers can shortlist with confidence.”
For participating providers, the assessment offers independent validation of capabilities and a credible way to demonstrate differentiated value.
“We are proud to be named a Top Tech in Supplier Management yet again from The Hackett Group," said Conrad Smith, CEO & Co-Founder of Graphite Connect. “The Graphite Network approach continues to prove that suppliers and buyers deserve a better way to connect and share data.”
