SAP Ariba Leaders Recognized as Pros to Know
In today's global and connected economy, digital supply chains are the
onramp to innovation and success. And when it comes to helping companies
get on the highway and go fast, SAP
Ariba is leading the way. The company today announced that three of
its executives have been named to the 2017 Supply & Demand Chain
Executive Pros to Know, an annual list that recognizes individuals who
are driving supply chain transformation through innovative thinking and
solutions.
Padmini Ranganathan, Vice President of Products and Innovation, Jon
Stevens, Global Senior Vice President, Business Networks and Tony
Harris, Global Vice President & General Manager, Direct Procurement
Solutions, have all been recognized for their work to help companies
reimagine their supply chains and develop effective digital strategies
that enable them to see the future and shape it to their advantage.
"From globalization, political instability and economic volatility,
today's business climate presents significant challenges to supply chain
professionals," says Lara Sowinski, Editor, Supply & Demand Chain
Executive. "The 2017 Provider Pros to Know recognizes individuals who
are tackling these challenges through their vision and commitment to
innovation."
Slavery was abolished in the United States centuries ago. Yet slave and
child labor remains rampant in supply chains around the world. SAP (News - Alert) Ariba
is working in the fight to stamp it out. And Padmini Ranganathan and her
team are leading the charge, delivering innovative
solutions that shine a light on the materials, regions, and
suppliers that are most likely to have forced labor and provide
companies with insights and intelligence that enable them to do
something about it.
Twenty years ago, procurement was a manual function driven largely by
phone calls, faxes and handshakes. Then along came the Internet. And a
thing called the Ariba®
Network. And everything changed. It all started with the idea that
buying and selling among businesses didn't need to be s hard. That with
the right technology, companies could automate the process and interact
in totally new ways that enhance their top and bottom lines. Jon Stevens
was a driving force behind this idea has helped to build what has become
the largest, most global business-to-business network on the planet over
the last twenty years.
To make things go in today's global economy, businesses need to work
with thousands of suppliers, partners and customers across supply chains
that have become increasingly complex. It's a mind-blowing task.
Particularly when it comes to direct materials. But Tony Harris and his
team are helping to simplify it through Ariba
Collaborative Supply Chain, an innovative and intelligent
collaboration platform that enables companies to connect with partners
and manage all of their direct materials procurement activities in one
place.
