In managing supplier relationships and mitigating risks, SAP Ariba Procurement has a very strong role to play. It gives us various options that help us to build relationships with suppliers. In case of any discrepancy or emergency situation, we have to ensure that we have enough alternatives so that we don't get held up in achieving the supplier supply efficiency in the system. We also use SAP Ariba Procurement for the supplier scorecard and ensuring that supplier performance is reviewed very stringently so that all the KPIs are within the range we expect. The transparency it brings in the system makes the supplier relationship healthy over the long term. SAP Ariba Procurement's automated purchasing has helped reduce errors for me. In the case of various invoice processing, the main challenge has been many times on the rate part. The rate that has been maintained and settled with the supplier on the contract is many times different from the rate that has been updated in the system or the vendor is using for the invoicing purpose. We created an automated mechanism where on a certain frequency, the contract rate and the actual system rate is getting reviewed so that the same error can be avoided when the actual invoicing happens. I do not utilize SAP Ariba Procurement's guided buying feature or any documentation for the solution. I am not much aware of the pricing and licensing of SAP Ariba Procurement. I believe that when there's an initiative to make the Ariba platform on the cloud, that will definitely help us to reduce and make the cost quite competitive so that the same can be reciprocated across multiple organizations and it creates a healthy environment for anyone to start using the platform. Based on my experience with SAP Ariba Procurement, I rate this solution 8 out of 10.
Overall, I rate Salesforce ten out of ten, excluding the pricing aspects. Salesforce is an excellent solution, but the cost may be a barrier for smaller enterprises.
It is one of the best hosting platforms we have around the world right now. I would recommend people to go ahead and use the solution. However, we need to ensure that our in-house team is trained on how to use it. It's not enough to outsource support. We need to ensure that we have the required knowledge to transfer from the implementation partner to our organization. Overall, I rate the product an eight out of ten.
