Membership Features and Benefits
The Supplier Membership Program helps you maximize the benefits your business receives by providing added functionality and services tailored to your level of participation on the Ariba Supplier Network. The program offers three different tiers of membership-Basic, Premier and Elite.
- Basic - Supports the most commonly used functionality and limited transaction volumes. Suppliers with no qualifying relationships join the Ariba Supplier Network at the free Basic level.
- Premier - Suppliers with at least one qualifying relationship join at the Premier level. The Premier membership level is for suppliers seeking advantage through value-added features.
- Elite - Suppliers with greater than $10M USD in volume in qualifying relationships become Elite members. The Elite membership level is designed for the most active suppliers that recognize the Ariba Supplier Network as strategic to their business.
The table below provides further detail on the offerings for each membership level.
