A 9r1 project team requires the appropriate skills
Completing an Ariba upgrade requires a project team with intimate knowledge, not only of 9r1 technology, but also one that can balk at traditional approaches, re-evaluate initial requirements and make insightful decisions that will have a positive impact on your end-users and the entire spend management enterprise.
Where does Shelby fit on your 9r1 upgrade team?
Shelby has completed/in process of completing 30+ upgrade assessments and/or upgrades (major and minor) over the course of its history. Through these experiences Shelby provides value through -
Source-to-Pay Process Expertise – Shelby comes to the table with experience in spend management by focusing on end-to-end processes, data flows, and integration, including 3rd party applications – not just Ariba.
In-Depth skills in Ariba Solutions – Shelby consultants have been providing consulting services on Ariba solutions since Ariba was founded in 1996. As such, we only hire and retain veteran talent who've worked extensively in spend management technology and understand the evolution of Ariba's solutions over the years.
Experience with Diverse Teams – Shelby’s project role, rooted in process and technology expertise, is often playing a central hub to co-manage projects, work with offshore/outsourcing arrangements for sourcing and procurement execution, as well as oversee technical application outsourcing for maintenance and development.
What are you looking for in your 9r1 implementation partner?
Shelby has invested significant time and talent ramping up and advising on Ariba 9r1. From training of our consultants to process workshops with our existing client base, we’ve been prepared for this 9r1 change since late 2008. Furthermore, we are actively engaging with hallmark companies running Ariba through our advisory, assessment and implementation services.
In the end, business need should drive technology – not the other way around. As such, we partner with those organizations looking for independent and objectively-based consulting and with those who want the most out of their Ariba technology investment. Let us show how can we help you.
