Upgrade and support of Ariba applications for a leading financial services provider
 
 
The idea
Assume total ownership of client’s Ariba landscape.
 
The client
A Fortune 500 company, the client is one of the largest financial services firms in the US. The client provides securities brokerage, banking, wealth management and related financial services for over 7 million active accounts worldwide.
 
The business challenge
The client was seeking a suitable partner to upgrade and support its growing Ariba applications landscape. Further, it was looked at as an opportunity to revamp some of the key business processes and e-enable those processes.
 
The solution

Wipro teamed with the client in upgradation and support of its entire Ariba implementation, harnessing its global delivery model. Wipro’s Ariba team has been involved right from the preliminary phase to the go-live phase and beyond, providing ongoing maintenance and support. Wipro was involved in customization and technical rollout of Ariba Buyer 7.1a and 8.2 versions.

An indicative list of the deliverables for the project follows:
Support the procurement of standard products and services along with other J2EE applications
Production support through the global delivery center, and most importantly
Upgrade from Ariba Buyer version 7.0.4 to 7.1a and subsequently to 8.2

Wipro developed various point solutions to enhance the capability/ performance of the Ariba implementation including – implementation of catalog filter, single sign-in using LDAP, inclusion of extrinsic fields in punch-outs, etc. Further, the team implemented business rules based on commodities and suppliers, PO printer formatter, and implemented PO invoice enhancements.

Currently Wipro is offering support for the Ariba application along with minor enhancement activities occasionally.
