SAP ARIBA approaching the transformation of supply chain with the view of asking the question ‘ how do you implement for success ?’
“ Our partners have been key to us ,” says Schenecker . “ And the best thing is , they don ’ t work on just the one area . Sure , you ’ ll see Intrigo working on integration of SAP Integrated Business Planning , ERP and Ariba with Deloitte running change management , but all of our partners operate under the wider scope of a larger transformational journey .”
As SAP continues to redefine its supply chain network in order to continue to provide true value to its supply chain and procurement partners , the question then becomes one of how to keep up the pace with the rapidly changing procurement landscape .
After all , today ’ s best practice will not always be tomorrow ’ s .
“ Customers , and not just ours but our competitors , drive us to higher levels of innovation ,” says Schenecker .
“ But we intend to lead , not to follow . Sure , we look to broader market to see what ’ s happening , but in terms of procurement and supply chain , SAP Ariba is setting the tenor , the direction and the trend for the current market . And we will continue to do just that .”
