Company to help Chinese customers simplify
business commerce through cloud-based applications
SAP today announced that SAP Ariba, the world’s largest B2B
network, intends to make its cloud-based procurement applications
available in China by the end of 2016. The move will enable Chinese
businesses to discover, connect and collaborate with trading
partners through a single digital marketplace to simplify business
commerce. The announcement was made at the SAP Select held in
Beijing today.
“The world is in the midst of a digital transformation and China
is at the forefront,” said Alex Atzberger, president, SAP Ariba.
“We look forward to bringing the world's leading cloud procurement
solution to customers in China to speed their journeys and help
them drive innovation and growth.”
SAP Ariba is the marketplace for digital business, creating
simple, intelligent exchanges between millions of buyers and
suppliers. Using SAP Ariba’s comprehensive range of cloud-based
applications, companies can redefine the source-to-settle process
and transform their business. Buyers, for instance, can efficiently
create intelligent connections with millions of suppliers and build
a dynamic, healthy supply chain. And sellers can create profitable
connections with buyers who are ready to buy and efficiently manage
both their sales cycle and cash flow.
“As e-commerce continues to take hold in China, SAP Ariba
provides a simple, open and smart way for Chinese companies to
manage everything from contracts to payments all in one place,”
said Mark Gibbs, Global Senior Vice President of SAP SE and
President of SAP Greater China. “SAP Ariba’s market-leading
solutions remove the complexity from business commerce and we
believe they will enable Chinese customers to gain a competitive
advantage in the digital marketplace.”
