Nearly 1,300 new suppliers connect to world’s
largest B2B marketplace every business day to grow relationships
and revenue
There are plenty of online sites that companies can use to list
their products and complete transactions. But where do they go to
find new business and qualified corporate buyers? SAP Ariba. More 2
million companies are connected to the Ariba® Network - a dynamic,
digital marketplace where more than $2.5 billion in commerce gets
done every day. And the company today announced that nearly 1,300
new sellers joined each business day during the quarter ended June
30 to claim their share of this business.
Where Commerce Happens
SAP Ariba is how companies connect to get business done. Using
the Ariba Network, buyers and suppliers in 190 countries can
quickly and easily collaborate on everything from bids to payments.
But beyond this, they can discover new opportunities and grow
relationships.
“The Ariba Network provides us opportunities to diversify our
business and develop new relationships that would not otherwise be
attainable,” says Jeff Bollman, CEO, Next Day Plus, a Chicago-based
provider of imaging equipment and supplies. “We don’t view SAP
Ariba as just a channel, but an essential partner to support the
continued growth of our business.”
Soren Bartels, Program Director, Global e-Commerce, Atea ASA, an
Oslo-based provider of IT services and infrastructure, agrees.
Since joining the Ariba Network, Atea saw its revenue jump from
$700,000 in 2014 to $5.5 million in 2015. “Because our numbers have
grown so significantly, SAP Ariba will be a big part of our
business in years to come,” he says.
Managing Connections that Matter Most
When companies connect to the Ariba Network, they connect to a
global network of millions of profitable customers who are ready to
buy. And they get access to simple, open and smart solutions they
can use to intelligently manage these connections, and increase
revenue.
“Our business is growing and SAP Ariba has allowed us to do that
by providing the tools we need to get to our customers and create a
great procurement experience for them,” said Eddison Moreno, B2B
Integration Specialist, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Colombia. “The
tools that Ariba has are real simple. There is nothing complicated
about what we are doing.”
Hewlett Packard Enterprise uses half a dozen sites to fuel its
B2B efforts. But Moreno says, “SAP Ariba is the best among all of
them because of the support that they provide us.”
For Gary George, Head of Technical Services for HH Global, a
London-based marketing services provider, relationships and
collaboration are what business is all about - and the reason he
selected SAP Ariba as the platform for the company’s e-commerce
efforts.
“SAP Ariba was the only sensible choice for us,” he says. “It
has allowed us to collaborate in new ways that have improved our
relationships with our customers and opened doors to new ones,” he
says.
The World’s Business Network
With more than 10 million suppliers participating and nearly $1
trillion in commerce changing hands every year, the Ariba Network
is the largest, most global business-to-business network on the
planet.
“While bigger is often better, what matters most when it comes
to networks is the value they create for participants,” says Jon
Stevens, Global Senior Vice President, Business Networks, SAP
Ariba. “With the Ariba Network, buyers and suppliers can move
beyond simple transactions and connect in new and innovative ways
that lead to profitable partnerships and business growth.”
