An interview with Drew Hofler, Ariba
Towards the tail end of summer, Ariba announced a new release with expanded capabilities that the company suggested will set a new standard for the way invoicing is done. The Ariba Network is the world’s largest business-to-business trading platform and is used by nearly 2 million enabled buyers and sellers to exchange over 70 million invoices per year. With the new features embedded in the network, the aim is for these companies to drive an end-to-end invoicing process that is more global, intelligent and simple than ever.

For those who don’t already know, SAP is expected to close a deal to buy Fieldglass within the next few weeks.
