This call is for any SAP customer who is wondering what the next steps are for supplier enablement. If you have a custom web portal that your suppliers use, or if you use the old SAP supplier self-services (SUS) portal, or some third-party tool, we want you to come on this Think Tank call to discuss implementing the Ariba network for supplier enablement. There are some challenges to this approach: How do I know how many of my existing suppliers are already on the Ariba network? Will the ones who aren’t balk at the cost? What ERP systems can the Ariba network talk to? Does using the Ariba network mean I have to implement any of the SAP Ariba Cloud products? We’ll answer all those questions, plus any additional ones that ASUG members who join the Think Tank bring to the call. 

 

The format for Thursday, Feb. 27 at 10 a.m. CT will include: 

  • Brief welcome and kickoff from ASUG 

  • Rapid case study led by ASUG member Nicholas DeCenzo from Birlasoft 

  • The discussion will focus on: 

  • Ariba network implementation options 

  • Working with your supplier base on the transition 

  • Non-SAP integration options 

  • 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.
