NTT DATA Transforms Transportation and Logistics with SAP Ariba
Commerce today is more global than ever. And transportation and
logistics has become increasingly complicated, as getting things from
point A to B now typically spans several continents and involves several
providers. NTT (News - Alert) DATA is out to simplify this process. And it is teaming
with SAP
Ariba to do it. The company today announced that it is developing a
digital solution to be delivered on the Ariba®
Network that will enable companies to track and manage complex,
global shipments in real time.
"Increased regulation, globalization, and changing competitive
boundaries are redefining shipping and logistics as we know it - and in
many cases, creating supply risk," said Bhalchandra Bhosale, Senior Vice
President, Global SAP (News - Alert) Practice NTT DATA. "In leveraging SAP Ariba's Open
Partner Ecosystem, NTT DATA can deliver an innovative solution through
which supply chain organizations can minimize this risk and optimize
their business outcomes."
SAP Ariba's Open Partner Ecosystem is uniquely designed to drive the
speed and innovation that companies need to do business in today's
digital economy by providing a powerful and secure platform from which
companies can create dynamic business solutions and quickly deliver them
to customers around the world. Through the ecosystem, companies can:
-
Use standard based open APIs to extend SAP Ariba solutions
-
Take advantage of pre-built solutions made available by SAP Ariba
partners.
-
Access self-service capabilities to create unique experiences
NTT DATA will use the SAP Ariba platform to deliver a digital solution
that enables buyers connected to the Ariba Network to monitor global
shipments in real time through a portal that is continually refreshed
with information on the status of each shipment along with proactive
notification of delays. Using the solution, buyers can gain clear
visibility into potential supply chain disruptions and mitigate their
impact.
"SAP Ariba is committed to delivering game-changing innovations that
transform procurement and fundamentally change the way that business is
done," said Dinesh Shahane, Chief Technology Officer, SAP Ariba.
