Introducing the New Docusign Connector for SAP Ariba Solutions

n today's rapidly evolving procurement landscape, organisations often struggle with limited visibility into contracts, inefficient approval handoffs, and disconnected tools across the entire contracting process. These challenges hurt business with inefficient procurement cycles, rogue contracting, unwanted auto-renewals, and reduced contract value. Nearly £1.5 trillion pounds are lost in global economic value each year due to poor agreement management practices and systems, and procurement teams miss over £1 million in savings from contractual incentives on average according to a recent study from Deloitte. 

At Docusign, we’re committed to solving these challenges with our long-standing partnership with SAP. As a leader in CLM, Docusign is innovating solutions that help customers achieve their business goals by streamlining source-to-pay workflows with the power of Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM). In April, SAP awarded Docusign an SAP Global Intelligent Spend and Business Network Partner Excellence Award winner in the Partner Solutions Success category - recognising our valuable contributions toward SAP’s cloud growth ambitions for customers. 

Built on the Docusign IAM platform, the new Docusign Connector for SAP Ariba solution automates workflows between Docusign CLM and SAP Ariba solutions to help businesses accelerate time to value and eliminate friction in source-to-pay agreement processes.
