Enhanced Procurement Operations with GyanSys

⇨ Businesses are transitioning from SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) to cloud-based solutions like SAP Ariba due to the lack of future roadmap support for SAP SRM within SAP S/4HANA.

⇨ SAP Ariba offers enhanced procurement efficiency and continuous updates with innovative features such as Artificial Intelligence and advanced analytics, unlike the legacy SAP SRM system.

⇨ The transition to cloud solutions requires careful planning, including a thorough discovery and analysis phase, considering factors like ERP migration timing and the overall source-to-pay process.

With SAP SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SAP SRM) not being part of SAP S/4HANA’s future roadmap, businesses are increasingly transitioning to future-proof cloud procurement solutions. Adopting cloud based SRM solutions not only offer efficient procurement practices and innovation, but they also decrease operational costs and decline in value associated with the legacy systems. Transitioning from SAP Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) to SAP Ariba is crucial for organizations looking to stay ahead in the rapidly evolving landscape of procurement technology.

SAP Ariba is the next generation of procurement solutions, offering a cloud-based platform that seamlessly integrates with SAP S/4HANA and other SAP solutions. This transition brings many advantages, including enhanced procurement efficiency, improved supplier collaboration, and access to cutting-edge innovations like Artificial Intelligence and advanced analytics. Unlike SAP SRM, which has no planned innovations, SAP SAP Ariba is continuously updated with new features and functionalities that align with industry best practices, ensuring that organizations are always at the forefront of procurement technology.

SAP offers a comprehensive suite of solutions, both cloud-based and on-premise, designed to support the business processes traditionally managed by SAP SRM. These include SAP Ariba, SAP Fieldglass, SAP S/4HANA Sourcing and Procurement, and SAP Concur, which collectively cover all procurement functions previously handled by SAP SRM. Moving from SAP SRM to a future cloud solution is not as easy as ‘lift-and-shift’—it is often viewed as a greenfield and data migration exercise. The transition process typically begins with an in-depth discovery and analysis phase, culminating in final recommendations tailored to future solutions. At this stage, the wider procurement landscape and the ERP backend are key considerations in the transition. Additional factors, such as timing relative to an ERP migration and the impact on the holistic source-to-pay process, will be pivotal in developing the right roadmap.
