Docusign Introduces New Connector for SAP Ariba Solutions at SAP Sapphire

SAN FRANCISCO, June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Docusign (NASDAQ: DOCU), a global leader in Intelligent Agreement Management, today announced the upcoming launch of its new Docusign Connector for SAP Ariba solutions – a new offering that automates workflows between Docusign CLM and SAP Ariba solutions to help businesses accelerate time to value and eliminate friction in source-to-pay agreement processes. Available globally starting in September, this new connector will be unveiled at SAP Sapphire events in Orlando, Florida and Barcelona, Spain. This launch reinforces Docusign's commitment to its partnership with SAP and its vision to transform agreement processes across the source-to-pay workflow.

In today's rapidly evolving procurement landscape, organizations often struggle with limited visibility into contracts, inefficient approval handoffs, and disconnected tools across the contracting process. These challenges lead to inefficient procurement cycles, rogue contracting, unwanted auto-renewals, and reduced contract value. According to a recent Deloitte study, nearly $2 trillion is lost in global economic value each year due to poor agreement management practices and systems, with procurement teams missing over $1 million in savings on average due to contractual incentives.

Driving Innovation Through SAP Partnership
Docusign is committed to solving these challenges through its long-standing partnership with SAP. As a leader in CLM, Docusign is innovating solutions to help customers achieve their business goals by streamlining source-to-pay workflows. In recognition of our valuable contributions toward SAP's cloud growth ambitions for customers, SAP recently awarded Docusign an SAP Global Intelligent Spend and Business Network Partner Excellence Award in the Partner Solutions Success category.

"In partnership with SAP, we're able to deliver innovative solutions for our shared customers that drive efficiency across the source-to-pay journey and unlock actionable insights within contracts," said Dmitri Krakovsky, Chief Product Officer at Docusign. "Docusign Connector for SAP Ariba solutions is our latest offering that is built upon our powerful new Docusign IAM platform, which will help organizations make smarter decisions and achieve greater value from their supplier relationships."
