In today’s economy, companies need to do more with less and do it faster and more

and savings across categories. But many lack the tools needed to proactively drive

compliance. And, as a result, half of all negotiated savings never makes its way to

the bottom line. In addition, legacy processes, systems, and technical resources don’t

allow for the development of global procurement strategies.

In the face of such daunting challenges, what is a company to do?

WHY SAP® ARIBA® BUYING AND INVOICING

Eective business requires eective tools. When you need to control your business

while staying agile, you need exible tools that allow you to dial up or down the

resources you need as you need them to achieve your goals. There are few areas

within a company more dynamic than the procure-to-pay process. Yet many com-

pliers, processes, budgets, approvals, and payments on a global basis. Languages,

enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, and business locations are no longer

concerns since all you need is a computer connection. And the processes are secure

and government agencies.
