scene cut

Procurement teams cite lower integration burden and clearer accountability when one suite owns freshness, access, and evaluation workflows.

signal braid

• Standalone tools face stronger consolidation pressure.
• Integrated vendors gain expansion in regulated accounts.
• Switching costs rise as governance features deepen.

my take

This consolidation wave is driven by operational complexity more than feature novelty.
