Few years have been tougher on business than 2009. The global
recession forced all companies to think and operate in new and
different ways just to survive. But some innovative organizations
viewed the down times as an opportunity to get ahead. Embracing
change and a new breed of solutions to drive it, they not only made
it through the recession, but positioned themselves to compete more
strongly as conditions continue to improve. Today, Ariba, Inc.
(Nasdaq: ARBA), the leading provider of collaborative business
commerce solutions, recognized many of these companies – and the
change agents within them – as part of the 2010 Ariba Excellence
Awards. The awards were presented during a ceremony at Ariba LIVE,
the premier conference for anyone engaged in buying, selling or
managing cash being held this week at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes
in Orlando, Florida.
“Ariba Excellence Award Winners know that competing in today’s
global market requires much more than maintaining status quo,” said
Tim Minahan, Chief Marketing Officer, Ariba. “It takes flexibility
and know-how to respond to rapidly changing market conditions and
heightened risk. It involves leveraging technology-based solutions
and processes to optimize the complete commerce lifecycle and
global networks to efficiently discover, connect, and collaborate
with key trading partners. It requires tapping capabilities to
augment internal resources and skills. And it demands greater
agility than ever before.”
Ariba Excellence Award Winners are forward-looking procurement
professionals, finance or IT executives and suppliers who
understand this and take the actions necessary to enhance the
performance of their organizations and deliver them to new worlds
of excellence – even in the most tumultuous of times.
