FAQ’s
Why did we buy Ariba? Ariba is the leading platform and used by the largest in the Fortune 500, FTSE 100
What are the benefits? One platform with an end-to-end process from event to contract to settlement with out preferred suppliers
Catalogues? Not unlike Amazon where we will be able to search and buy our common requirements
Spot Buy? Items more adhoc or infrequent so we will have eBay for business to make these one offs easier to acquire (if approved)
Guided Buying? Part of our journey to leading practice, were the end user is guided to the right channel to make their purchase. A web interface with good look and feel with help users search for their product or service
Delivery Partner exited? Didn’t meet the standards set by S+N, delivery team not bringing experience and best practice to the project
How to ensure compliance? Ariba will be the single way to buy anything of significance, supported by a new Global procurement policy
