Knowledge is power. Few companies know this better than Reed
Elsevier. A world leading publisher and information provider, Reed
Elsevier helps companies in the science and medical, legal, risk
management, and business-to-business sectors make better decisions
by arming them with leading-edge content. On Thursday, April 12,
the company will take to the mainstage at Ariba LIVE 2012, to
discuss how it is mining its own data to enhance its performance
and competitive advantage, with the help of cloud-based solutions
from Ariba, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARBA), the world’s business commerce
network. The business commerce event of the year, Ariba LIVE 2012
will be held April 10-12 at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas.
“At Reed Elsevier, we are focused on creating authoritative
content delivered through market-leading brands that enable our
customers to find the data, analysis and commentary they need to
support their business decisions,” said Leslie Campbell, Chief
Procurement Officer, Reed Elsevier. “Within our own organization,
we are applying the same principle, implementing solutions that
allow us to gain a clear view into our spend data so that we can
make informed decisions that align with our objectives and help us
to optimize our performance and profits.”
Reed Elsevier has been using a range of cloud-based applications
from Ariba to manage its sourcing activities, contracts and trading
relationships since 2008, including Ariba® Sourcing™, Ariba
Contract Management™, Ariba Supplier Information and Performance
Management™ and Ariba Spend Visibility™. Most recently, the company
began improving downstream activities via Ariba PO Automation and
Invoice Management™.
Campbell will discuss how she and her team have been able to
leverage these offerings to build a high-performance procurement
organization and optimize processes during a keynote address at
Ariba LIVE.
“Much like consumers who use social networks to manage their
personal lives, companies are increasingly turning to business
networks through which they can connect and collaborate more
efficiently around key business processes,” said Tim Minahan, Chief
Marketing Officer, Ariba. “Through Ariba, Reed Elsevier is able to
access technologies, capabilities and a global community that have
enabled it to simplify the complex procurement process and
accelerate and enhance the results that it delivers.”
