1 SAP ARIBA SNAP – Digital Procurement and Supplier Management

The SAP Ariba Snap enables you to take control of spending and to enforce compliance. Its
preconfigured spend categories, embedded procurement policies, business rules, and approval
workflows increase your control.

SAP Ariba Snap provides the same solution as SAP Ariba Buying and Invoicing. The main difference
is the deployment methodology.
The initial deployment of SAP Ariba Snap takes only 12 weeks, which eliminates heavy time and
resource constraints, so you can focus on your business outcomes and priorities. The unique
deployment methodology of SAP Ariba Snap preloads content from Ariba supplier marketplace and
community best practices, enabling you to start simple and add additional functionality over time.

The best part of SAP Ariba Snap is that it is the same platform that Fortune 500 companies use. You
can grow into other SAP Ariba solutions without ever outgrowing it. Ariba offer an integrated platform
with a single database of suppliers for your company.
