About SAP Ariba Strategic Sourcing
SAP Ariba Strategic Sourcing Suite supports a closed-loop, digital, source-to-contract process for direct and indirect materials sourcing. In today’s outsourced, global economy, business-to-business (B2B) supply chains have become an increasingly important source of profits, savings, and competitive advantage. But until now, there’s been no efficient digital process for sourcing both indirect and direct materials – a single solution that works for all spend categories and manages the entire source-to-contract process from integrating new bills of materials (BOMs) from product lifecycle management (PLM) systems, through sourcing, contract management, and manufacturing execution integration. Relying on separate processes and systems for direct and indirect materials increases contract leakage and IT costs, limits savings and revenue opportunities, and hinders alignment across internal teams.
