SHELL
We can already see how much of Shell ’ s procurement process is carried out within SAP Ariba .
“ We also review and approve them within SAP Ariba ,” he says , “ which provides the added benefit of being able to reuse and leverage existing or prior strategies , and we then use SAP Ariba to go to market , eSourcing either auctions or tenders . “ We typically provide our suppliers during the tender with our fit-for-purpose contract proposal , in order for them to base their quote on . This draft , too , is created in SAP Ariba , which is done by leveraging the metadata or the header data of the contract , which identify things like country , commodity , dates , contract value and so on to automatically assemble a fit for purpose contract for that unique situation .”
This is where SAP Ariba ’ s Artificial Intelligence starts to play a greater role .
How Artificial Intelligence and Automation lead to increased productivity “ Contract Authoring was a time consuming and non-compliance risk area until we were able to use SAP Ariba Contract Authoring technology . There are about 50 key data points that the system uses to automatically assemble from around 4000 different elements of clauses , in order to determine the right contract for a specific situation . We have about 6 million possible combinations ,
