26. Ariba Discovery success story - e-learning (2/2)
Comment of responsible buyer:
“Ariba Discovery was important for us, because we wanted to create competition in the RFP
and find a new provider than the one already in place, which was not very qualitative.
e-Learning design providers can be small companies that are spread across the world.
36 potential suppliers signalled their interest and heated up the competition.
The selected supplier was not known by Atos before the Supplier Discovery Post.”
Benefits:
Quality of services have been improved

28. A Discovery posting…
Should remain open for at least 5 working days to give potential suppliers sufficient time to respond
Can be published anonymously
Can be published simultaneously while the e-tender or e-negotiation is already open for response:
buyer can find new suppliers while the existing suppliers are already preparing their responses.
Additionally we can invite existing suppliers to apply pressure on suppliers
SAP and SAP Ariba solutions should work together seamlessly
A few pointers
Good to know!
