The global economy is showing signs of picking up speed. But the
need to reduce costs is not slowing down. On October 20, Ariba,
Inc. (Nasdaq: ARBA), the leading spend management solutions
provider, will kick off Spend Management Days 2009, a global series
of events designed to help companies identify opportunities for
savings and ensure that they reach the bottom line. The series will
begin in Boston and continue through the remainder of the year with
events in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Calgary, London,
Geneva and Philadelphia.
“The recession has sparked deep and widespread structural
changes into how businesses operate, organize, capitalize and
manage costs and created a new state of normal in which supply
volatility, capacity constraints, and global uncertainty will be
commonplace and must be carefully managed,” said Tim Minahan, Chief
Marketing Officer, Ariba. “Ariba Spend Management Days are unique
forums through which organizations can gather insights and best
practices to help them get in front of this wave and lock in rates
before inflation strikes, shore up supply in their core
commodities, and optimize cash flows across their supply
chain.”
Designed for executives and practitioners across procurement,
finance, legal and IT, Ariba Spend Management Days provide
practical, actionable information that participants can use to
position their organizations to compete more strongly when economic
conditions improve.
“The key to surviving the current downturn and thriving in the
post-recession economy is agility,” Minahan continued. “Leading
companies will enable this agility by better anticipating
fluctuations in market conditions and balancing internal
capabilities with external solutions and expertise delivered via
flexible, technology-enabled service models like Software as a
Service.”
Through dynamic keynote presentations, interactive panel
discussions, targeted breakout sessions and informal networking
forums, Ariba Spend Management Days provide access to market
knowledge, category insights and solution demonstrations that
attendees can leverage to put spend management into action and
quickly create value across their organizations.
