As the single largest financial and administrative information
exchange in the U.S. healthcare system, Emdeon understands the
importance of leveraging technology to connect healthcare
participants and simplify business processes. So when it came to
enhancing the efficiency of its own procurement process, Emdeon
turned to a company that knows it’s not what you know, but who you
know and how you connect to them that drives improvements in
productivity and profits - Ariba, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARBA), the world’s
business commerce network.
“Like Emdeon, Ariba knows how to deliver solutions that impact
the flow of information to help increase efficiency and maximize
profitability,” said Steve Henderson, Vice President of Corporate
Services for Emdeon. “Using Ariba’s cloud-based offerings, we can
connect and collaborate with our trading partners faster and
easier.”
Ariba’s solutions combine cloud-based applications with a
community of partners and capabilities in the form of best
practices, community-derived intelligence and other unique features
and services such as analytics, preferred financing and ratings to
help companies buy, sell and manage their cash more efficiently and
effectively.
Emdeon will leverage Ariba® Sourcing™, a cloud-based application
that enables companies of all sizes to negotiate best-value
agreements for direct and indirect materials, to drive its
procurement activities. This offering fuels a sourcing process that
helps to deliver savings and efficiencies that positively impact
performance and ultimately, the bottom line.
“By delivering solutions that connect healthcare participants
and help make key administrative processes, such as managing
revenue and payment cycles and sharing clinical data more
efficient, Emdeon is simplifying the complex business of
healthcare,” said Oscar May, Director, Health Care Solutions,
Ariba, Inc. “By implementing Ariba Sourcing, it is doing the same
for procurement.”
