That was around the same time I opined that a battle to fulfil the role of corporate clients' chief aggregator of booked and paid data was afoot, with such booking/expense service providers as Concur and KDS best positioned to win it. An interview last week with Spendvision CEO Shane Bruhns helped reaffirm at least part of my position.
