Welcome to my latest blog entry!

I’m Martin Beganyi, the Solution Value Advisory Director for EMEA/MEE, and today’s focus is on our recent Guided Sourcing campaign initiative.

Our team has been busy with a campaign across EMEA, targeting users of SAP Ariba Sourcing who haven’t fully explored the potential of Guided Sourcing. We’ve encountered users who are aware of this feature but hesitant to make the switch or unsure of the implementation process.

Our efforts aimed to clarify these uncertainties, addressing topics like:

• Rollout guidance
• Recent innovations and roadmap
• Template management

For detailed insights on the most discussed topics, these resources are invaluable:

• Guided Sourcing – Adoption Best Practice
• Recent Innovations – Release Readiness
• Converting Classic Sourcing Templates to Guided Sourcing
• Buyer Playbook for Guided Sourcing
• Setting Up Guided Sourcing (SAP Help)
• What’s New in SAP Procurement

Our commitment is to help customers navigate and adopt SAP Ariba solutions with confidence. We do this through webinars, customer labs, events, and tailored resources like the Guided Sourcing Buyer Playbook and Guided Sourcing Adoption Lab Replay. Furthermore, we offer personalized sessions to tackle specific challenges.

And lastly, we also engage on a 1:1 basis, addressing challenges our customers face in their daily business. These engagements are time-limited and laser-focused.

This initiative reflects SAP’s dedication to maximizing the value our customers derive from their investments.

Looking ahead, we’re gearing up for a campaign that demystifies e-Auctions, featuring tools like the SAP Ariba Sourcing Auctions Value Accelerator Buyer Playbook.

Thank you and good luck.
