“Connecting once” vision
Cloud integration gateway
 A powerful and scalable integration
platform abstracted from Ariba
Network
 Robust integration standards
support
 Self-service and self-testing
capabilities
 Developer tools
cXML and extrinsics
 Updates for cXML and redefined
use of extrinsics to address need
for customization that will not
prevent standard, single
mappings for all connections
Governance
 A governance model to
manage and maintain
standardization of cXML and
other standards, with
dedicated capacity to deliver
approved updates
 Nondestructive extensibility
Our goal is to standardize business-to-business (B2B) integration
Suppliers develop a single mapping to Ariba Network that will allow them to integrate with any buyer instantly.

Planning and expectations: Our best advice
No one, buyer or
supplier, has a
“vanilla” instance.
Understand business
relationship and
expectations before
integration starts.
Get the right people
involved and
understand their roles
and responsibilities.
Stay informed via
status calls.
Define and finalize
your requirements
early and utilize
robust test scripts.
