hybris Now Offers Instant Access to the Ariba Network
London (PRWEB) June 17, 2014 -- Today’s customer is more connected, mobile and empowered than ever. And to win their hearts – and increase their revenue – companies need to engage them when, where and how they want to be engaged in a highly personal and consistent manner. In pairing its hybris Commerce Suite with the Ariba Network, hybris software, an SAP Company and the world’s fastest-growing commerce platform provider, is fueling this process in a way that no other solution provider can. The company today announced the availability of a PunchOut integration offering designed to provide selling organizations using the hybris B2B Commerce application with instant access to the Ariba Network and the more than 1.5 million companies connected to it.
Leveraging the unique combination of SAP’s customer engagement solutions and business network in conjunction with its deep integration expertise, hybris users can engage customers in new and innovative ways and deliver a consistent brand experience that drives greater satisfaction and revenue.
Enhancing Omni-Channel Commerce
“Whether they are procuring online or on mobile, engaging on social media, or visiting a branch or dealer location, customers today expect a consistent experience,” said Rick Chavie, Chief Solutions Officer, hybris. “With the integration of hybris and Ariba, companies can exceed these expectations by expanding their touchpoints and making them all brand personalized, easy, and relevant.”
Simplifying Integration
And with SAP’s strengths in integration, they can do it quickly and easily. “With many vendors, integration is a complex and costly process involving additional hardware, installed software and lengthy managed service engagements,” said Sven Denecken, Vice President, Strategy, SAP Cloud. “With SAP, it’s a simple, efficient and seamless one focused on outcomes.”
Through a pre-configured integration solution, selling organizations using hybris can rapidly connect to the world’s largest business network where they can gain increased visibility for their catalogs among new customers, increase product margins and expand their wallet share with existing ones.
“Eighty percent of our business comes to us through Ariba and we grow 10 percent or more per year,” said Kevin Govin, CEO, MarkMaster, Inc.
