SAP AG has announced plans to infuse SAP innovations in social, mobile, cloud and the in-memory technology of the SAP HANA platform into the Ariba Network.
These innovations will drive global business-to-business collaboration and create higher levels of efficiency and insights in the network, according to SAP.
In the announcement, which was made yesterday at SAPPHIRE NOW + SAP TechEd Madrid, SAP also revealed several rapid-deployment solutions that will make it faster for customers running SAP Business Suite software to integrate with the Ariba Network.
This includes product catalog integration between SAP Business Suite and the Ariba Network based on SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration software, and purchase order and invoice automation for automated exchange of documents in the procure-to-pay and order-to-cash processes.
“Online social networks tools have transformed our personal relationships by connecting us to people and information in new ways,” said SAP co-CEO Jim Hagemann Snabe.
“We are enabling businesses of all sizes to do the same. With one million companies connected, SAP and Ariba have created the largest business network in the world. Together we will deliver game-changing gains in productivity, collaboration and agility across the entire value chain of suppliers, partners and customers.”
