Ariba Sourcing – On solid ground
Managing business goals while meeting sourcing needs is often an exercise in immediate action. So when it comes to sourcing, focusing on long-term planning can sometimes be challenging. The transformative power of cloud computing offers a way for sourcing and procurement leaders to address that challenge head on. The new challenge? Determining the path forward. Offerings from Ariba, an SAP company, can help provide direction. But getting things right requires a plan.
Ariba® Spend Visibility – Pinpoint where the money is going
Spending money is easy. It’s also complicated. Within organizations today, a wider variety of constituents are now enabled to make their own spending decisions, often in nontraditional ways. And the data picture gets murkier with each added layer of complexity. But new functionality delivered through the Ariba® Spend Visibility solution can help develop a “single source of truth” on spending—by using an enterprise-wide approach to gathering and analyzing data.
Ariba® and SAP®: The hybrid cloud approach – Finding balance with Deloitte
How can you take advantage of new cloud-based capabilities in sourcing and procurement without sacrificing your existing on-premises investments? A hybrid approach offers the best of both worlds. But to make it work, you need to rethink your operating model, get good at governance, and actively help your people adapt to the new environment.
Beyond EDI - Unlocking new value with transactions enabled by SAP® Ariba® and the Ariba® Network
For many organizations, electronic data interchange (EDI) remains the go-to-method for reliably exchanging the documents involved in buying and selling goods and services. But as the focus of business falls on engagement, collaboration, adaptability, and new value, many organizations have shifted their attention to solutions such as SAP Ariba® and the Ariba® Network, which serves as a modern digital platform for commerce. How does the Ariba Network compare with EDI? Explore some core differences here and discover what it takes to unlock value with SAP Ariba solutions.
Race to value - Cloud-enabled buyer-supplier collaboration
New cloud networks that provide a platform for collaboration between buyers and suppliers are making supply chains more flexible, responsive, and powerful – improving speed and financial performance while reducing cost and risk. It’s wise to start small, encouraging your top-tier suppliers to join the network and improve collaboration. But ultimately the greatest potential value comes from using the platform to manage all aspects of the buyer-supplier relationship across your broader supply base.
SAP®’s Ariba® Network - Cloud-enabled business collaboration
As many organizations continue to struggle with paper-intensive systems for managing procurement activities and supplier relationships, cloud technology has become a go-to solution. And in the cloud realm, SAP®’s Ariba® Network has emerged as a powerful resource for helping streamline procurement processes and deliver efficiencies. But unlocking the full potential of Ariba Network to address your specific business realities involves more than simply plugging in. Taking full advantage of Ariba Network involves understanding the layers of business realities within your organization. It involves asking some tough but essential questions about where you are today and where you hope to be in the future.
SAP® Fieldglass - A complete view of the flexible workforce
A flexible, external workforce is a tremendous strategic asset, providing access to quality talent when you need it—without bogging you down when you don’t. However, it also presents unique challenges and risks, including high, hidden costs and increased potential for noncompliant behavior. A cloud-based vendor management system can help you stay on top of things, answering crucial questions such as: Who is working for you? Where are they located? What do they earn? Are they performing as expected? Are they compliant? This lets you actively manage your external workforce—instead of just sitting around waiting for invoices come in.
Streamlining Travel and Expense in the Cloud Leveraging Concur
Streamlining Travel and Expense in the Cloud Leveraging Concur With Concur Travel & Expense plus help from Deloitte, organizations can deploy a cloud-based solution for simplifying travel and expense, generating enterprisewide insights, and unlocking new value.
The direct approach - Finding new value with direct procurement
For manufacturers, direct procurement can represent a big portion of costs. At the same time, many companies continue to acquire direct materials inefficiently. But with SAP® Ariba® and guidance from Deloitte, they can begin unlocking new value.
