Quick Facts

http://www.sap.com/solution/lob/procurement.html




Given the global trends driving changes in pro-

curement practices, this shift toward centraliza-tion is occurring just in time. Most businesses

face aggressive savings and cost management

goals – and management looks to the procure-

ment department to help achieve them. At the

same time, as more organizations go global, so

do supply bases; this typically introduces new

risks to businesses and drives the need for tight

controls over supplier performance. With this

in mind, the issues of sustainability and corpo-

rate social responsibility continue to grow inrelevance. These trends are occurring at a time

when companies are striving to create the high-

est levels of operational eciency while also

supporting an increasingly mobile workforce.

Now more than ever, procurement must address

these changes and provide organizations with

secure access to systems anytime, anywhere.

To achieve these goals, organizations of all sizes

and in all industries are turning to business net-

works as a way to simplify collaboration, nd new

suppliers faster, reduce the costs of collaboration,

and source new and current requirements at lower

prices. Others are taking supplier relationships

even further – for example, by co-innovating with

suppliers on products to build things better, faster,

and more cost-eectively.

WHAT THE LEADERS ARE DOING

Leading companies are responding to thesedemands by employing integrated tools to

support key processes. And they are generating

results by meeting savings targets, eectively

managing and collaborating with suppliers,

enforcing contract compliance, and streamlining

operations. According to SAP benchmarking

surveys of leading global corporations, these

organizations achieve results by combining soft-

ware with recognized best practices for sourcing

and procurement. Additionally, the surveys showthat these best practices – which can impact

both strategic and transactional activities – are

making a signicant impact on the bottom line.

Let’s take a closer look at the most important

best practices being implemented.

Centralize Procurement Operations

Organizations that operate a single, integrated

procurement system to manage all categories of

spend have a 46% greater impact on managed

spend and savings compared to their peers,

according to these benchmarking surveys. This

best practice results in a single source of truth

for supplier data, expenditure data, and contract

data, which in turn drives cost savings and opera-

tional eciencies.

A New Era for Procurement

The role of procurement is entering a new era. Organizations are shifting from adecentralized to a centralized model that gives procurement teams tighter con-trols, standardized processes, and power to negotiate with vendors and achievenew eciencies and savings. What tools are needed to achieve procurementexcellence? And what best practices have proven to maximize growth and prots?

makes full use of approved suppliers with whom

you have prenegotiated, lower rates.

As you can see in Figure 1, organizations that

keep a close eye on o-contract spending

achieve 40% less maverick spending compared

to their peers. These guidelines are often directed

or mandated by automated system controls.

Additionally, companies that conduct regularspend reviews to identify new areas of contract

opportunity have a 24% greater impact on man-

aged spend compared to their peers.

Reduce Cycle Times

Best-in-class organizations also take advantage

of technology-enabled best practices (for exam-

ple, via automation) to reduce cycle times for

transactions. These companies are able to con-

vert requisitions to purchase orders 47% morequickly than their peers, as Figure 2 illustrates.

This allows these procurement organizations to

accomplish more with fewer sta members or

refocus sta to work on more strategic activities.

Engage in the Networked Economy

Today’s huge shifts in how technology is delivered,

accessed, and used have generated collaboration-

driven business models that connect companies

with communities of existing and potential part-

ners. Many companies are participating in global

networks that, for instance, enable buyers to e-

ciently discover and qualify suppliers and track

and coordinate orders across the supply chain.

In addition, these networks enable sellers to ndnew opportunities within the network. And all this

happens in real time. Businesses, meanwhile, get

maximum transparency into payables and receiv-

ables, supporting good decisions on managing

working capital.

Increase Spend Under Management

Best-in-class companies employ another essential

best practice: maximizing the number of spend

categories under management. As you increasethe number of spend categories managed by pro-

curement, you increase savings realized by the

business. That’s because unapproved “maverick”

spending is kept to a minimum, and everyone

A Comprehensive Set of IntegratedProcurement Applications

SPEND ANALYSIS

Is your business struggling with cost containment

but not sure where to focus its sourcing eorts?

Most likely, the root cause is disaggregated and

inconsistent spend data. This situation impedes

accurate spend analysis due to insucient

granularity of spend category data on goods and

services, unclear information on the usage of sup-

pliers across business units, and poor reporting,

measurement, and analysis. When managementresponds with top-down directives to reduce

costs, increase purchasing control, gain full visibil-

ity into spend, and reduce supply risk, it’s time to

focus on spend management.

SAP and Ariba oer the spend analysis tools you

need to create a well-planned spend and supplier

analysis strategy for all categories. Together,

these tools enable visibility into organization-

wide spending and help you identify cost-savingopportunities. In addition, they help you reduce

supplier risk, manage supply continuity, and

increase the amount of spend you inuence.

For example, you can:

• Aggregate your data with simple, automated,

and scheduled extraction from your source

systems

• Deliver accurate, useful information by normal-

izing, validating, classifying, and enriching your

data

• Aggregate spend among families of suppliers

• Quickly generate template-based and ad hoc

reports to analyze spend data

• Collaboratively manage performance, which

enables you to capture performance goals,

contributing factors, and snapshots of savings

opportunities

• Easily share insights with your team using

simple collaboration tools

Comprising a comprehensive array of source-to-

pay products, procurement solutions from SAP

and Ariba, an SAP company, help you drive e-

ciencies and infuse the best practices described

previously across the entire procurement lifecycle.

Our applications work together to help ensure

that your company is meeting its savings targets

across all categories of spend, eectively manag-

ing and collaborating with suppliers, enforcing

contract compliance, and streamlining operations.

We deliver this value through a unique combina-

tion of cloud-based and on-premise procure-

ment applications, business networks, and

value-added services, enabling customers to

deploy an integrated, comprehensive solution to

support ecient, closed-loop processes. Once

Armed with the right sourcing solutions from

SAP and Ariba, you can:

• Dene and repeat a best-practice sourcing

process, track key tasks and milestones, and

collaborate with stakeholders

• Identify and qualify supplier capabilities using

an online RFx, and then evaluate supplier pro-

posals to receive the best value on negotiated

goods and services

• Drive competition through online, real-time bid-ding via reverse, forward, and Dutch auctions

• Navigate all qualitative and quantitative sup-

plier attributes to arrive at a “best value”

award decision

• Conduct demand-driven, spot-sourcing

activities at the time of requisition to achieve

incremental savings

• Establish contracts directly from the RFx or

auction stage

• Discover new sources of supply through inte-grated access to the Ariba Network for ecient

and eective supplier discovery, qualication,

risk assessment, and more competitive

negotiations

CONTRACT MANAGEMENT

With thousands of transactions and suppliers,

your organization faces the uphill task of prevent-

ing any leakage of possible savings due to breach

of contracts. Equally important, you need to

ensure that suppliers are delivering on promised

service levels. Leakage can be the result of cum-

bersome contract creation, approval, and man-

agement processes, as well as a lack of visibility

into already-negotiated supplier contracts.

With the right solutions in place, you’ll benet

from:

• Increased spend visibility so you can identify

new savings and supplier rationalization

opportunities

• The ability to turn your data into action by kick-

ing o prepopulated sourcing activities

• Easier identication of risk in your supply chain

• Supply-based rationalization

• The ability to compare your spend to that ofindustry peers

SOURCING

The ability to meet or exceed savings targets is

always of paramount importance to a procure-

ment organization. A procurement team must

continually nd ways to generate additional sav-

ings from sourced goods and services without

sacricing quality. A solid supplier negotiation

strategy, strong collaboration with internal stake-holders, and streamlined processes help achieve

this goal. Equally important, procurement teams

are expected to source more categories in a

shorter time – and do so collaboratively and

eectively – to bring additional savings to the

bottom line.

With sourcing solutions from SAP and Ariba, you

can manage projects; model global-sourcing best

practices; run collaborative requests for informa-

tion, quotations, and proposals (RFx); conduct

auction events; and incorporate supplier prole

information. You can then quickly analyze sup-

plier responses and determine your award deci-

sions to shorten your time to savings. And when

you execute projects and contracts over the

Ariba Network, a collaborative technology plat-

form, you can source more categories faster and

implement savings more rapidly.

OPERATIONAL PROCUREMENT

If your procurement organization faces pressure

to reduce costs while maintaining high-quality

output, you need ways to boost the eciency of

your procurement operations. For example, you

can gain cost-saving eciencies by implementing

a standardized, automated, and integrated

procure-to-pay process that encompasses:

• Daily requisitions

• An automated order-to-pay process• Online catalogs that your employees can

access and use to place orders

• Ecient order transmission and collaboration

• Automated rebate tracking

At the same time, you need ways to maximize

process and contract compliance, promote

sustainability initiatives, improve procurement

productivity, and increase realized savings. SAP

and Ariba oer operational procurement solu-tions that enable you to automate, simplify, and

accelerate goods and services procurement for

all categories of spend. The software supports a

“zero touch” process that enforces purchasing

from preferred suppliers while shortening order

cycle time and driving procurement discipline.

SAP and Ariba provide you with the tools to

enable standardized contract creation, transfer

negotiated terms and conditions to operational

contracts, and provide portfolio visibility, systemic

governance, and compliance management. These

tools help expand the amount and percentage of

captured cost savings in contracts, increase the

percentage of compliant transactions, and cut

down contract-creation cycle times. As a result,

you get the highest value from your contractswhile reducing corporate risk.

With contract management solutions from SAP

and Ariba, you can:

• Standardize and automate contract creation

and streamline the approval process with con-

sistent, preapproved language and controlled

edits

• Improve employee awareness of contract

terms, outstanding commitments, and compli-ance issues through contract performance

management

• Encourage purchasing under contract terms,

track accruals against contracts, and apply

volume discounts through central contract inte-

gration across your systems and processes

Organizations that operate a single, integrated

procurement system to manage all categories of

spend have a 46% greater impact on managed

spend and savings compared to their peers.

software, collaboration tools, and networks to help

you strategically manage your entire workforce

and total spend cohesively.

INVOICE MANAGEMENT

Managing invoices often involves lots of manual

work that drains your internal and supplier

resources. Everyone involved must engage in

time-consuming historical research, belaboredcommunication with suppliers, documentation

activities, requests for more information, manual

routing, and labor-intensive monitoring and

communications regarding the status of unpaid

invoices. The question is, what’s the best way

CONTINGENT WORKFORCE AND

SERVICES PROCUREMENT

The workforce is changing. Each year, more and

more companies are employing external labor

and services to meet human capital needs.

Independent contractors, temporary workers,

specialized talent pools, and project-based ser-

vices rms comprise a growing proportion of the

global workforce.

Contingent labor and professional services are

top procurement spend categories for many

companies. Therefore, deriving the greatest value

from this investment has become a priority for

many organizations.
