    New capabilities this quarter

    Improve Sourcing Performance with SAP Ariba in SAP Signavio Process Intelligence

    Problem Statement

    Sourcing managers strive to attract a broad set of existing and new suppliers for their sourcing events. This ensures a stable inflow of supply market innovations, while keeping competitive pressure high on supplier relationships.

    Inefficient sourcing processes can however discourage suppliers from submitting their bid and thus limit the chance to award the most suitable supplier in the market, matching the business requirements of the sourcing event.

    Value proposition

    As a procurement excellence or transformation leader facing limited supplier participation and lengthy sourcing cycle times the "Improve sourcing process performance in SAP Ariba" value accelerator for SAP Signavio Process Intelligence highlights potential root causes for not successfully completed sourcing projects, low supplier participation or extended process cycle times.

    Benefits

    • Reduced RfX cycle time through increased transparency on bottlenecks
    • Increased savings through increased competition of broader supplier base participation
    • Increased procurement value contribution to innovative products by attracting more qualified and innovative suppliers

    Capabilities

    • Identification of supplier drop-off points in the process
    • Root cause analysis for limited supplier participation, sourcing cycle times and process bottlenecks
