Ariba integration with existing Maintenance Strategies

[Former Member]

Hello,

Our procurement dept will implement Ariba to have a supplier relationship management/tendering etc process.

I would like to know if anybody working in Asset Maintenance has been though this process?

The main concern is how will the Ariba deployment integrate with our existing Maintenance Strategies and the Work Orders that are generated for our Planned Maintanance and Catalogues, etc?  Are there any things we should focus on so that it is seamless?

Thanks

We're using EEc6 with Ariba.

But as you may already know, SAP have bought Ariba recently.

We have a customer-specific interface that creates/change POs (including those linked to orders).

It is not seamless though..

Hopefully SAP will improve this interface

Thanks Pete,

Yes, the seamlessness... or lack of, is the main concern.  Some of the stakeholders have views of the future with links broken and what that may mean to our maintenance process.

We'll keep an eye on it for sure.
