Have you imple­ment­ed or are you plan­ning to imple­ment SAP Ari­ba for your business? 

SAP Ari­ba as a pro­cure­ment and sup­ply chain solu­tion replaces mul­ti­ple SAP lega­cy solu­tions (SRM, CLM, and part of the ECC func­tion­al­i­ty) with enhanced user expe­ri­ence and end-to-end sup­port for source-to-con­tract and pro­cure-to-pay processes. 

How­ev­er, the Ari­ba solu­tion isn’t always well-suit­ed for min­ing com­pa­nies for which a major busi­ness case is relat­ed to work-order-based procurement. 

We have also expe­ri­enced dif­fi­cul­ties in inte­grat­ing Ari­ba with ECC. 

SAP recent­ly released a new SAP S/4HANA solu­tion named cen­tral pro­cure­ment, which is sup­posed to facil­i­tate the inte­gra­tion between Ari­ba and back-end systems. 

The for­mat for Fri­day, Feb. 28 at 1 p.m. CT will include: 

• Brief wel­come and kick­off from ASUG 

• Rapid case study led by ASUG mem­bers San­jay Sri­vas­ta­va from Ever­green Pack­ag­ing and Dar­ren Schmidt from Newmont 

• The dis­cus­sion will focus on: 

• Prod­uct evo­lu­tion includ­ing cen­tral procurement 

• Pro­cure-to-pay process in in Ari­ba ver­sus ECC 

• Lessons learned from cur­rent implementations 

• Shar­ing of recent wins or suc­cess­es, along with resources utilized 

Gain vis­i­bil­i­ty into the chal­lenges and suc­cess­es oth­er SAP cus­tomers are expe­ri­enc­ing, and acquire new ideas for real-world solutions.
