The client decided to define, streamline
and systematize its end-to-end sourcing process and
Wipro was selected as the preferred partner of this
organizational wide initiative. This was a first of
its kind, multi-implementation green-field project for
Ariba suite of products for the client. Wipro adopted
its well proven Enterprise Applications Process Model
(EAPM) framework based on the AribaLive methodology
in the successful implementation of this initiative.
In enabling the end-to-end sourcing process for greater
visibility, Wipro strategized the implementation road-map,
program guide and championed the project planning from
kickoff stage to micro level cut-over plans to switch-off
of legacy applications and implementation of the new suite
of products. The key highlights of the project are as
follows:
 |
Implementation of
Ariba Category Management (ACM) module |
 |
Implementation of
Ariba Contract Workbench (ACW) module |
 |
Implementation of
Ariba Analysis (AA) module |
 |
Implementation of Ariba Enterprise
Sourcing (AES) module |
 |
Total ownership of organization
change management, awareness and education for the
super-users, including design of security and access
control for 200,000 + users |
Further, the team built the data conduits for the
newly built applications with the existing applications
and integrated the four different suites with the Ariba
Buyer and Ariba Data Enrichment modules of the organization.
In a phased approach, Wipro leveraged its global delivery
model to bring out maximum value for the client. Global
rollouts were carried out in the USA, several European
locations and also in Asia and Australia. |
