Benchmarking: The first step to best-in-class

SAP Ariba invites customers – both current and prospective – to enroll in a world-class benchmarking program, one that can more effectively help participants:

  • Establish a fact-based baseline of performance

  • Measure and compare solution adoption rates

  • Use empirical data to track performance

  • Identify the best ways to drive cost savings through greater efficiency and effectiveness

  • Build a success plan for improvement, with targets for internal initiatives

  • Quantify the savings achieved through improved performance

  • The best way to assess performance objectively

    The SAP Ariba Benchmark Program helps you assess your performance objectively by assimilating data from the following sources – as applicable to each participant’s situation – and putting it through a rigorous analytical engine:

    1. Pooled transaction data from across Ariba Network, the world’s largest business network
    2. Transaction data from your use of the application
    3. User-entered survey data

    Taken all together, the resulting analysis can provide participants with the most objective way to assess source-to-pay performance.

  • Program features

    The SAP Ariba benchmarking program is unique in the industry and leverages both application and survey data to assess each participating organization’s source-to-pay performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
