Today's news alerts include: Aviva Goes On-Demand With Ariba
Leading Insurance Company Shifts to Software as a Service to Lower Costs, Accelerate Results
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Jun 09, 2009 -- Ariba, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARBA), the leading spend management solutions provider, today announced that it is taking Aviva, the world's fifth largest insurance group, on-demand. In an effort to lower costs, accelerate results and speed returns on investment, Aviva has opted to shift from single-tenant hosted versions of Ariba's software to the multi-tenant on-demand platform.
"Aviva continues to be focused on finding ways in which it can lower operating costs while continuing to provide innovative services to clients worldwide," said Toby Redshaw, Chief Information Officer, Aviva. "With Ariba's on-demand spend management solutions, we have access to the latest features and functionality we need to achieve our goals not only today but as we grow with this solution over the next several years."
A unique combination of technology, category expertise and services delivered in a single, integrated platform, Ariba's on-demand spend management solutions require no investment in hardware or lengthy implementations. With Ariba, companies can be up and running along the path to spend management excellence in weeks, not months or years.
Under the terms of a newly-signed agreement, Aviva will leverage the on-demand versions of Ariba(R) Spend Visibility(TM), Ariba Sourcing(TM), Ariba Contract Management(TM) and Ariba Supplier Performance Management(TM) to drive savings and efficiencies across its operations. Aviva has been using Ariba as the platform for its spend management initiatives since 2006.
Using Ariba Spend Visibility, Aviva can achieve a 360-degree view into spend across categories, divisions and geographies, identify opportunities for savings and optimize information on existing and new suppliers. With Ariba Sourcing, the company can negotiate for goods and services and drive savings to the bottom line. Leveraging Ariba Contract Management, Aviva can manage and drive compliance with global agreements. And through Ariba Supplier Performance Management, the company can discover, assess, and bring on board new supply partners and continuously measure and improve their performance.
"Software as a service has sparked a fundamental shift in the way that companies of all types and sizes purchase and deploy software," said Mike Arenth, General Manager, EMEA, Ariba. "In transitioning to Ariba's multi-tenant on-demand platform, Aviva can leverage our shared, Web-based delivery architecture, rapid innovation cycles, and pay-as-you-go, subscription-based pricing model to deliver rapid and sustainable bottom-line results."
Aviva joins more than 1,000 companies around the world who are using Ariba's solutions to lower costs and increase profits including leading European firms such as: British Airways, BP plc, AXA, Nestle, Telefonica, Unilever, Heineken and GlaxoSmithKline plc among others.
