Pay suites

When it comes to core technologies for procurement, SAP Ariba is unanimously regarded as the "leader" by market researchers. This can be read in a Gartner report published in 2016, but Forrester Research also classifies SAP Ariba as the dominant player in the buy-side business in "The Forrester Wave: Contract Life-Cycle Management, Q3 2016".

For SAP Ariba, this is the reward for its pursuit of continuous innovation and strict focus on customer success. In the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Procure-to-Pay Suites, 2016, Gartner analyzed the complete procure-to-pay solutions of twelve software providers based on twelve criteria.

Ariba and Fieldglass were ranked in the "Leader" quadrant for their performance in the areas of "completeness of vision" and "ability to execute".
