Sourcing Maturity |
|---|---|
| 0 – 45 | Your organisation does not have effective procurement processes. We would strongly recommend that you work on this first, especially if you have the in-house resources and capabilities to put this right. |
| 50 – 75 | You have some basics in place, but there’s a lot of potential you’re missing out on. We can partner with you to transform your procurement organisation, but you’re not ready to run sourcing events just yet until we’ve done some ground work. |
| 80 – 105 | Procurement is pretty well managed in terms of controlling the leakage and having structure. There are a few things holding you back from being in the top quartile though. We can help you get there as your partner. |
| 110 – 140 | You’re running a tight ship already. If you’re looking for some extra support to maintain momentum and drive this forward, especially if you have limited resources, get in touch! |

Integration
Ariba integration allows customers to connect their ERP system (SAP or non-SAP) with the Ariba platform. This integration reduces the number of manual tasks and streamlines the loading of master data, as well as transactional data.
Customers with an SAP ERP system such as ECC or S4/HANA are provided with standard packages. In these cases, we configure a cloud-integrated-gateway (CIG) as middleware for the integration with SAP Ariba. Currently, there are no standard integration packages for non-SAP ERP systems. For these customers, we design custom middleware solutions based on the business needs of each organization.
The Brainbox integration consultants have plenty of experience with both scenarios and can implement a seamless Ariba integration for all organizations.
Technical
Technical consultant is involved in implementing the design produced by a functional consultant after a detailed review with the client or customer.
In short, the technical consultant comes to visibility when there is customization scope while manipulating the software service. Our technical consultants have the followings skill-set:
- Knowing the architecture of the software system or the client system
- Good Knowledge on scripting, data services, mappings, and markup languages.
- Logical skills and creative ideas always help in optimizing the system and at the same time, not to over complex the architecture.
- Refined mythologies to always renew the current designs which increases system performance
Functional
A functional consultant can be involved in the planning, design and oversight of the construction of a new software system or upgrade for an existing software system. During the process of defining the scope, our functional consultants will determine the system requirements based on the business case. These requirements are discussed during design workshops together with customers.
The functional consultant can configure the SAP Ariba system according to the outcomes of the workshops. Functional Consultants often work as part of a team that may include business analysts, technical consultants, and software engineers. Their regular task would break down to 4 core tasks:
- Gain as much knowledge as possible on the business processes and the design of current business flows.
- Work with customer representatives to evaluate the client’s demands, which they then turn into a logical and technical business model.
- Build something reliable which wouldn’t impact the customer’s existing business process.
- Bring the concepts of reusability.
