Ariba offers a full
suite of strategic sourcing products intended to cover all
spend categories, but better on indirect spend. The product
is immature (version1.0) in several areas and stronger on
transactions than on knowledge management, but Ariba's size,
global reach, and partnerships make it a contender. The current
version does not take a project approach to spend management.
The new version should rectify this.
