SAP Ariba is how companies<br />

connect to get business done.<br />

On the Ariba Network, buyers<br />

opportunities.<br />

about suppliers, the more the financial<br />

institutions like American Express<br />

knows, we will be working with them<br />

to offer financing opportunities for<br />

suppliers outside of the normal<br />

payment process.”<br />

Going forward, Thompson is<br />

confident that SAP Ariba’s early<br />

embrace of the open ecosystem will<br />

see it in good stead. “We will have<br />

an open approach and the different<br />

relationships that we have will each<br />

play a unique role, if you will, in that<br />

open ecosystem. Ultimately, it’s about<br />

choice. Buyers will be able to choose<br />

the financial institution that they want to<br />

work with and, if we do it right at Ariba,<br />

we’ll be able to shape the ecosystem<br />

around us for years to come.”<br />
