Considerations
•
Convert Upstream (Sourcing, Contracts)


•
Convert Downstream (Buyer, Invoice)

More conversion activity with our Upstream customers
Ariba LIVE 2011 showcased several upstream conversions
Steady conversion activity with our Downstream customers
Typically see this as part of a broader initiative within the
organization (i.e. not “just an upgrade”)
Both conversions discussed today are P2P conversions

Where We Started
8
•
Ariba Buyer implemented across the Bank for Purchasing.
•
Only capturing approx 10% of commodity spend on POs
through Ariba Buyer.
•
Not capturing complex spend (e.g. software and professional
services, marketing, etc.).
•
A/P was a paper-based process.
•
No end-user visibility into PO status (e.g. ability to see remaining
funds on PO or payments against PO).
•
Limited access to financial information to support
sourcing projects.
© 2012 Ariba, Inc. All rights reserved.
Major Milestones and “Future State”
•
Develop a Strategic Sourcing Organization to support the Bank.

9
Capture and actively source spend areas across the Bank to leverage spend
and increase price performance.
•
Design an integrated Source-to-Pay program to increase control and
provide detailed commitment and spend data at an end-user level.
•
Increase use of POs to capture spend.
•
Automate the Accounts Payable process.
•
Ability to proactively manage our vendor expenses at the user level.

Building a Business Case
Why Upgrade (or) Convert to On Demand?
•
Do Nothing


•
Upgrade current system


•
Pro: Keep similar feel and functionality as what we have today and get benefits included in
each upgrade.
Con: No additional functionality to capture complex spend on POs; Behind-the-firewall
software upgrades and enhancements will be less frequent; Continued maintenance and
infrastructure costs.
Replace Buyer with On Demand


10
Pro: Keep the functionality and technical interfaces we have today.
Con: Maintenance increased due to Retired Product Support Program; UB concerns on
support of older version over time; Limited functionality to capture complex spend on POs.
Pro: Capture significantly more spend on POs through Ariba; Greatly increased
functionality; Automates more business processes; Directionally same cost as annual
maintenance; Eliminate internal infrastructure costs; Ariba upgrades and enhances more
frequently included in the annual cost.
Con: May impact how we interface technically with Buyer today; Bank no longer
“owns” the software.

Why Ariba On Demand
•
Bank selected Ariba’s On Demand (SaaS) model.


Strong return on investment, plus greatly increased functionality.
Ease of implementation, maintenance and ongoing upgrades.
•
Ariba is ERP-agnostic.
•
Improves business process by tying together Purchasing and Payables and
automating the functions.
•
Ability to leverage best practice and market leading processes.
•
No additional infrastructure needed, all hosted by Ariba. Reduces existing infrastructure
and expense by removing Ariba Buyer and other ad hoc tools.
•
Access to Ariba Discovery for real time market based pricing knowledge.
•
Ariba On Demand made it cost effective to add upstream modules
(e.g. Sourcing and SIPM).

Project Highlights
•
Converted downstream from CD to On Demand and implemented the
Sourcing and SIPM module
•
Deployment


•
Capture of spend on PO

•
Increase spend on PO, with a goal of 50-70%
Scalable, best practice, Purchase-to-Pay program

12
Ariba estimated approximately an 18- to 20-week deployment.
Actual implementation nine months.
As the Bank grows, easier to scale and expand Ariba’s automated platform
vs. the Bank’s Ariba Buyer platform.

Change Management
Keys to Success
•
Change Management is a key to success. Implementation of an overall Communication
Plan, including Webex and personal training for super-users; multiple communications to all
end users; ad hoc training; etc.
•
Required more resources than suggested. Ariba guidelines severely underestimated the
number of hours/resources to implement the system.
•
Recommend strong joint planning sessions with Ariba prior to signing the agreement to
understand current environment and future state to streamline implementation. Develop a
both a business and technical plan.
•
If moving from behind the firewall to an on-demand system, ensure IT completely
understands the impact of the move to their role.
•
Aggressively move spend into the system and have senior management support.
“Stealthing” in the spend is not effective as it is wasting the value of the investment.

Sustainable Supply Chains through Vested Trading
Partner Relationships


24
Long-term, mutually beneficial partnerships between buyers and suppliers are
increasingly being described as vested relationships, defined by a shared vision,
agreed-upon desired outcomes, transparency, trust, and win-win. Developing
such trading partner relationships pays dividends in many ways, particularly
when your goal is ensuring a sustainable supply chain. Join Tim Minahan, chief
marketing officer for Ariba, as he explores the concept with Kate Vitasek, author
of Vested Outsourcing, and Tim McBride, general manager for global finance
shared services at Microsoft. Mr. Minahan and his guests will engage with Ariba
customers who will talk about such investments at their companies, and the
impact they have on their comprehensive sustainability programs.
