  • SAP Landscape
    First-hand knowledge. Browse the Book This chapter dives into the sourcing and procurement process in the next-generation SAP landscape. From sourcing to purchasing to services procurement, you’ll see how SAP S/4HANA and SAP Ariba come together to complete the SAP solution portfolio for sourcing and procurement. “Sourcing and Procurement with SAP S/4HANA and SAP Ariba” Table of Contents Index The Authors Matthew Riches, Ben Robinson, Gareth Ryan, Ian Vincent SAP: An Introduction—Next-Generation Business Processes and Solutions 537 Pages, 2018, $69.95 ISBN 978-1-4932-1650-5 www.sap-press.com/4563 Chapter 4 Sourcing and Procurement with SAP S/4HANA and SAP Ariba 4 In this chapter, we’ll focus on sourcing and procurement as a business process before discussing the evolution from arm’s-length adversarial procurement to a tighter, more collaborative approach. Following this, we’ll investigate the tapestry of products that form SAP’s sourc- ing and procurement portfolio. Sourcing and procurement is a topic that encapsulates how digital technology has and continues to disrupt long-established ways of doing business. Rather than sim- ply speeding up traditional business processes, digital technology has been a catalyst enabling procurement departments to adopt new relationship models that move beyond arm’s-length vendor/supplier relationships and embrace mutually beneficial collaboration based on intelligence networks. We procure items from a myriad of sources—shops, markets, cafes, restaurants, and online—however, despite the commonplace nature of the activity, finding a consen- sus as to the lexicon or even the encompassing span of activities for the term “pro- curement” isn’t so straightforward.
