Ariba P2P is the Solution They'll Use

Effective contract negotiation is critical if you want to save money in your procurement activities. But that's only half the battle. It's not enough to just negotiate – or renegotiate – a great deal. You need a proactive, user-friendly procurement solution to drive your savings to the bottom line. Ariba Procure-to-Pay delivers on each of these fronts by helping you:

• Deploy a fast and economical solution
  Even when you have to do more with less, including less IT support, Ariba P2P can help you achieve speed, savings, and sustainability. Put this solution to work right away, integrating and unifying your disparate ERP systems. A subscription-based SaaS, it can be up-and-running in no time – without hardware or software installation costs. Unlike CD or hosted on-demand systems, there are no maintenance costs, either. Upgrades are immediately available as part of your subscription. And if needed, implementation assistance and training can ensure rapid deployment, company-wide adoption, and quick ROI.
• Analyze and control all unmanaged spend
  Ariba P2P is the only SaaS solution that offers world-wide visibility and complete control to manage both direct and indirect spend, for all goods and services. Optimizing services procurement is one of the quickest ways you can deliver more savings to the bottom line. Along with goods, Ariba customers save on services like contingent labor, consulting, print, creative, legal, direct mail, ATM installations, and more. From source to settle, you can manage it all with an automated and integrated user-friendly system.
• Strengthen contract compliance
  Users will find a way around any system they don't like, so lay the groundwork for compliance by choosing a solution they'll use. Make sure it facilitates buyer-supplier collaboration, too. It's key to creating agreements that will be kept. With access to the Ariba Network, Ariba P2P is an integrated, casual-user friendly system that enhances collaboration and flexibility in supplier negotiation. It gives you more control over management of complex terms, and easy-to-maintain online catalogs drive user compliance with rate cards, pricing targets, preferred suppliers, and payment policies.
• Achieve greater agility in supplier relationships
  Access to the Ariba Network can help you identify and work with a greater number of suitable suppliers. This drives competition for your business and enables rapid, informed decisions that can mitigate supply risk. Ariba P2P further assists with multi-language and multi-country process management tools. Deftly engaging in the world's largest trading partner community, you can focus more on what you can do with suppliers, instead of to them. You'll benefit from stronger relationships, advantageous pricing concessions, and innovative solutions to your supply problems.

If your situation calls for it, Ariba also offers a Procure-to-Order solution. This can do the heavy lifting of order processing and then hand it off to your ERP for receiving and invoice reconciliation. You can also choose to include the receiving process in your P2O solution. Either way, your solution is delivered through the Ariba Commerce Cloud, a web-based utility that contains everything you need to produce more savings and value through procurement than ever before. And this can secure you an even greater role in the strategic direction of your business.
