By integrating Ariba’s cloud-based procurement applications “Ariba Procurement Content” with its SAP system, Atos has created a consumer-like shopping site through which goods and services can be quickly and easily requisitioned from preferred vendors – all within its existing procurement infrastructure and in accordance with corporate purchasing policies. Atos has been successful in creating a more efficient system through which employees could access supplier-maintained catalogs or punch out directly to vendors.
John Lark, Director, Product Marketing, Ariba, said, “Just because you build it doesn’t mean users will come; and when it comes to corporate procurement sites, nothing is proper. As Atos recognizes, the key to user adoption is providing an easy-to-use tool with current content. Ariba Procurement Content lets companies deliver a simple and intuitive shopping experience, with up-to-date, reliable content so they can drive more spend through the system and realize greater savings.”
Ariba Procurement Content integrates with any ERP or procurement system and provides companies with a complete content source of approved goods and services through a single user interface.
Atos joins a growing number of ERP users who are leveraging Ariba’s solutions to extend the value of their systems by driving process efficiencies, transparency and better collaboration with the systems of their external trading partners.
