Ariba Contract Manager reviewed by an Ariba SME
Overall Satisfaction with Ariba Contract Management
It's used by the entire organization. The direct spend managers use it as a repository. Indirect spend managers use it linked to other Ariba transactions. It ensures all documentation resides within the same environment and becomes available to users. It also creates visibility to the contracts so other users can leverage existing agreements.
- It notifies of contract expirations
- It monitors the spend if the contract is transactable
- It houses all documents within the same environment
- Not very intuitive. User has to dig for information throughout the tabs.
- Documents should have a preview button instead of us having to open each one of them each time.
- Contracts cannot be added to existing requisitions.
- Increased employee efficiency - less time looking for documents or lost contracts.
- Increased visibility to auditors.
- SAP
Ariba Contract Management is more user friendly than SAP. It does not have all the interative functionalities that Ariba has, such as the approval flows, etc. It is easier to train users to use Ariba Contract Management than it is to use SAP. Ariba is more affordable than the SAP licenses.
