• SAP Ariba integrates the different SAP Sourcing platforms, services and their tools in order to optimize operations, saves cost and meeting customer requirements through its easy to use tools. Such as integration with SAP S/4 HANA, SAP EWM using Idocs for End to End sourcing and Procurement coverage.
• As a part of the SAP Direct Sourcing suite, it helps allow customer manage their direct materials in the single dashboard and helping customer to have view of the comprehensive info about BoM and the structure. Based on requirements, buyers can run materials and/or entire Bill of Materials. When these are sent from ERP to SAP Ariba, managers can manage them in the direct spend dashboard.

• E-sign: Transferring of signatures would be ideal or the loading of a personal signature into the e-sign field rather than a generic signature being populated.
• AI: The tagging does not pick up things nor does the software really learn what you want it to. There is a fair bit of manual data entry that has to be done.

• Sometimes the system is slow. Cant say whether due to software or the system we use.
• Dashboards could be improved and made more easily customisable.
• Direct linking of Project Procurement Schedule with the Procurement Cycle of SAP Ariba will be a big step forward.

I've never heard that we've had an outage or error and I 'm in ContractWorks days, evenings and weekends.

We haven't integrated ContractWorks with other systems. Otherwise, reasonably sized documents load fairly quickly and reports extract quickly. I work remotely sometimes it takes an extra minute

I have been offered to review a solution on Zoom by [support manager] and offered on the spot a better way to do things. Have been very pleased with their seminars, their response, their courtesy.

Customer support has always been top notch. From small configuration changes to overall process changes, support has the teammates in place with excellent knowledge and is able to provide solutions based on business challenges quickly. Their customer support through their Account teams continues to be hands on and very responsive to needs in a timely fashion.

Read my points before. Cost, features, ease of use.

Unified processes, reduced handoffs, and better visibility across procurement, contracts, and supplier collaboration. Ariba has access to the vast SAP Business Network, which helps with supplier onboarding, catalog management, purchase-to-pay collaboration, and global sourcing. If your organization uses the broader SAP S/4HANA or SAP ERP stack, Ariba provides native hooks, data models, and support for SAP-centric processes.
