Businesses can no longer be competitive on their own. Inventories have been leaned out, costly infrastructure reduced, processes outsourced, and supply chains stretched around the globe. Now every business is more dependent upon its external partners. And it’s critical they share information and processes to align and coordinate their business decisions. There’s no room for inefficiency. So all the paper that’s slogging its way between you and your suppliers, customers, and banks is a problem. As is the redundancy that comes with obsolete point-to-point integration models. Resources are being devoured, and your business is paying dearly in the form of higher operating costs, missed sales opportunities, slower cash flow, and escalating supply chain costs and risks. Fortunately, there’s a better way. Companies around the world are capitalizing on the advantages and opportunities provided by the Networked Economy, with Ariba as a key enabler. You can do the same.
