SAP® Ariba Consulting

The DBC supports your company in the entire procurement process.

 

SAP® Ariba is a modular complete solution in the cloud for purchasing. It includes strategic and operational functions for procurement. In addition, with the integrated Ariba Business Network, there is a worldwide business network between buyers and suppliers. When selecting modules and implementing them, it is important which process is mapped and which functions are required. For this, the connection to the respective backend system (e.g. SAP ERP or S/4HANA) is important.
