About SAP Ariba

SAP Ariba is set up for success to grow 30% in 2017. As the industry leader in cloud procurement, SAP Ariba will connect the world and simplify business commerce everywhere. With the B2B trading platform of the 21st century, SAP Ariba is making SAP's vision of Run Simple and Run Networked a reality for customers. We are proud that over 1 Trillion dollars is exchanged on our network.

Global commerce today requires much more than scanning or faxing key documents such as purchase orders, invoices, and payment remittance. For better commerce, you must establish real time electronic collaboration with your entire supply base on a global level, so you can dramatically compress the invoice and payment processing cycle, comply with contracts and regulations, achieve working capital breakthroughs that lower supply chain risk, and more. But few organizations can effectively target and onboard thousands of global suppliers. Ariba has this expertise, with outsource-service capabilities and self-service tools to automate the enablement process for any supplier anywhere in the world. We can help you match your vendors to existing Ariba Network suppliers and onboard new suppliers, or provide tools for you to manage the process on your own.
