Supply & Demand Chain Executive Magazine
recognizes company leaders for commitment to and success in driving
supply chain transformation
Modern supply chains are the key to driving success and
transparency in business. And with its business network,
cloud-based applications and deep domain expertise, SAP Ariba is a
driving force in enabling them. Supply & Demand Chain Executive
Magazine recognized this today, naming two of the company’s leaders
to the 2018 Supply & Demand Chain Executive Pros to Know, an
annual listing of exceptional corporate executives who are helping
companies effectively manage the supply chain challenges they face
today and prepare them for the future.
“Supply & Demand Chain Executive Pros to Know embody the
commitment to transformative supply chain tools and processes and
we commend this year’s recipients for their achievements in paving
the way for the next generation of exceptional supply chain
execution,” says John Yuva, editor of Supply & Demand Chain
Executive.”
Among the SAP Ariba leaders named to the 2018 list: Keith
Baranowski, Global Vice President and General Manager of the
company’s direct spend solutions, and Aarathi Vidyasagar, Global
Vice President, Head of Strategic Procurement. Both were selected
on the basis of their efforts to help companies reimagine their
supply chains and provide new processes and tools that transform
the way they work.
Today’s consumers want products with the latest innovations
customized to their needs. And they want them now. Procurement
plays an important role in bringing these products to market
quickly, but with hundreds or thousands of high quality components
that need to be sourced at low cost to build them, it isn’t an easy
task. SAP Ariba is helping to simplify it and Baranowski and his
team are leading the charge, helping companies procure direct
materials with the same simplicity and speed as indirect goods and
services.
Research shows that the average procurement organization spends
more than half its time on transactional activities such as
managing purchasing orders (POs), sourcing events and contracts,
reconciling invoices and tracking payments. In digitizing such
tasks, they can shift their focus away from tactical work to more
strategic initiatives such as supplier development and
co-innovation. And in infusing them with things like artificial
intelligence, machine learning and cognitive capabilities, they can
make smarter, more informed decisions that beyond savings and
efficiencies, deliver broad business value. Under the leadership of
Vidyasagar and her team, SAP Ariba is delivering these and other
innovations that are opening the door to new ways of thinking,
connecting and acting that makes the entire source-to-settle
process run smarter, simpler and faster.
Baranowski and Vidyasagar will be among the thousands of supply
chain leaders gathered in Las Vegas next month for SAP Ariba Live,
the premier business commerce conference that kicks off March 5 at
Caesars Palace. Register today to join them.
