PALO ALTO, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–For small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs), shrewd spending decisions
can mean the difference between failure and success. But many lack the
systems and staff to make procurement a mission-critical priority.
Premikati Inc. has a solution to their problem. Leveraging technology
from SAP Ariba, Premikati today introduced the Premikati Marketplace,
giving SMBs access to enterprise-class procurement as a service.
“Small and medium-sized businesses have long wanted to take advantage of
enterprise-class procurement, but they haven’t had the means,” said
Marisol Buczynski Buchanan, CEO of Premikati. “Using the Premikati
Marketplace, they can access millions of vetted suppliers and
enterprise-class procurement tools that provide greater visibility into
their spend and procurement process from end to end – all at a cost they
can afford.”
As an SAP Ariba partner, Premikati has created the marketplace
specifically geared to SMBs in just six weeks, from delivery to cutover
to production. It provides them with critical elements they need in
driving a simple, efficient source-to-settle process that quickly
delivers results. Their customers can manage spending, connect with
suppliers, improve cash flow, and drive compliance – all without adding
complexity.
“The Sanders Group has been transacting over the Ariba Network for many
years as a media technology and communications supplier to some of the
largest companies in the United States,” said Mike Sanders, president of
The Sanders Group. “With the Premikati Marketplace, we can now use the
same SAP Ariba solution to purchase products and services we need to run
our business. Premikati was able to get our team enabled and completing
transactions within one hour of receiving our information.”
“The Premikati Marketplace illustrates how the power of SAP Ariba
solutions can benefit companies of all sizes,” said Will Caseber, vice
president, Global BPO Channel, SAP Ariba. “With minimal investment,
Premikati customers can get up and running quickly, and take advantage
of enterprise-class technology and services that propel their businesses
to the next level.”
