B2B e-commerce is evolving rapidly1
1. Information from a Frost & Sullivan study (http://ecommerceandb2b.com/b2b-e-commerce-trends-statistics/)
2. This number is exclusive of EDI
E-commerce is huge.
B2B e-commerce will hit US$12 trillion in sales worldwide by 2020,
up from $5.5 trillion in 20122.
B2B e-commerce sales almost double B2C.
Customer-facing front-end B2B e-commerce will reach $559 billion –
that number excludes EDI transactions.
We are facing the consumerization of B2B.
80% of companies implementing B2B e-commerce believe that their
customer expectations have changed due to B2C practices.
Buyers want enhanced search.
76% of B2B buyers listed enhanced search as one of their top three features,
with 48% of B2B sellers citing enhanced search as a top technology priority.
B2B buying decisions are key.
57% of the buying process is done prior to engaging with sales.
B2B sites should be sales tools assisting the buying process.

Driving compliance
(3 bids and buy)
Specialized requirementsNew commodity
• Compliance in lower-priority commodities
outside strategic sourcing coverage
• Company-wide requirements for 3 bids
• Traditional search tools that do not identify
e-business technical abilities, minorities,
veterans, women-owned resources, and
green certification
• Expertise difficult to find
• Enterprises not yet invested in it
Unanticipated rush ordersSecondary sourcesLow-cost country sourcing
• Cycle time of traditional process
too long to address stock-outs or
quality problems
• Approved vendor lists quickly becoming
outdated for service markets where
personnel turnover is high
• Higher demand for supplier risk
management
• Lack of enterprise resource or expertise

Ariba Discovery success story - e-learning (2/2)
Comment of responsible buyer:
“Ariba Discovery was important for us, because we wanted to create competition in the RFP
and find a new provider than the one already in place, which was not very qualitative.
e-Learning design providers can be small companies that are spread across the world.
36 potential suppliers signalled their interest and heated up the competition.
The selected supplier was not known by Atos before the Supplier Discovery Post.”
Benefits:
Quality of services have been improved
26

Ariba Discovery success story - professional services
Phase 1: Supplier Discovery Post was published for 2 weeks
26 potential suppliers responded (from Africa, Asia, Europe, North America)
Phase 2: e-RFP was published to 7 potential suppliers and was in the status “open for response” for 4 weeks
4 potential suppliers from Supplier Discovery Post, 2 known suppliers and 1 incumbent supplier
6 potential suppliers responded with their pricing
Phase 3: Presentation and Negotiations
3 potential suppliers were invited to present their proposal including negotiations afterwards
Phase 4: Supplier Selection and Contract Signed
A supplier that responded to the Supplier Discovery Post was selected as they offered a better price compared to
their competitors.
40% savings compared to the incumbent supplier
27

A Discovery posting…
Should remain open for at least 5 working days to give potential suppliers sufficient time to respond
Can be published anonymously
Can be published simultaneously while the e-tender or e-negotiation is already open for response:
buyer can find new suppliers while the existing suppliers are already preparing their responses.
Additionally we can invite existing suppliers to apply pressure on suppliers
SAP and SAP Ariba solutions should work together seamlessly
A few pointers
Good to know!
