SAP Ariba Training

SAP Ariba Training Course Details

When Ariba was founded nearly two decades ago, Ariba set out on a mission to build a solution to help companies manage their spend. Today, Ariba is the world’s largest marketplace for business-to-business transactions-connecting more than two million companies and a trillion dollars in commerce each year. At Ariba core, Ariba simplify business commerce and make it possible for buyers and sellers to grow connections that matter to them.

Ariba new brand identity reflects the value Ariba brings to both buyers and sellers while recognizing SAP as the market leader in enterprise application software, helping organizations of all sizes work more efficiently and use business insight more effectively. Together, SAP Ariba is helping the world run better.

When you Run Simple with SAP Ariba, you build, manage, and deepen your B2B relationships to help you transform your business for the digital economy.

Ariba started with some crayons, a paper tablecloth, and the right idea. It was 1996. Over sandwiches at Quadrus Café in Menlo Park, seven business colleagues were discussing the tremendous waste of time and money involved in corporate purchasing. The problem: outdated, paper-based procurement procedures—tedious, frustrating, and incapable of helping enterprises understand how their money was spent.

The solution, they recognized, lay in this new thing called “the Internet” and the opportunity it presented to link computer systems and efficiently exchange information. Spilling the jar of crayons on the table, they diagrammed their solution and what it would do.

It would have a walk-up user interface. It would integrate with enterprise financial systems. It would hook buyers right up to their suppliers. And doing so, it would fundamentally change the way business was done.

On the surface, it was a great idea for cutting purchasing time and costs. At its core was something much more fundamental and powerful: Our collective need to connect and collaborate with like-minded people.

It was an idea powerful enough to bring together venturous investors, talented employees, and strategic partners. And powerful enough to survive. Whether facing the pitfalls that come with any change endeavor or cataclysmic events like the dot-com bust, faithfulness to our idea of helping trading partners connect and collaborate has helped Ariba stay the course.

Over time, the scope of our work expanded, through development and acquisition, to include the full range of business-to-business commerce activities and the formation of a supplier network. Initially a procurement software company, we came to realize that businesses could enjoy stronger connections and better visibility by reaching beyond their four walls into a space where they could work more easily with their trading partners. So Ariba became a cloud company, and the Ariba Network continued to grow.

Then, the global economy emerged from the Great Recession-more connected, mobile, and interdependent than ever. We recognized that Ariba’s calling to facilitate trading partner collaboration would be fulfilled by our accepting the mantle of The World’s Business Commerce Network, and making it a place where cloud-based commerce is as easy for businesses as it is for consumers. Today we can see how a crayon-drawn idea from years ago can evolve, adapt, and get bigger to have a major impact on the world. The Ariba Network is nearly two million businesses strong, with tremendous support as a member of the SAP family. Together with our customers we’re changing the way business gets done. And we invite you to join us.
