# Spend Management Roundup

> A buyer-focused guide to five familiar names in spend management, explaining both what each system does and what happened to the brands. Ramp remains an independent finance-operations platform; Divvy became BILL Spend & Expense; Emburse offers a broad travel-and-expense suite; Airbase has become Paylocity for Finance; and Center was acquired by American Express, which has announced a successor expense platform. The practical lesson is to compare ownership, implementation model, card economics, accounting depth and roadmap risk alongside feature checklists.
