Next-Gen SAP Ariba with apsolut 

Transformation to AI-native procurement with SAP

Together, we will define the right moment and transition path to next-gen SAP Ariba – designing a roadmap tailored to your organisation that will accelerate automation, improve performance, and support your strategic procurement goals.

Why is a new SAP Ariba emerging?

Procurement has changed dramatically over the past few years. What once worked well now faces new expectations: These include AI-supported decision-making, seamless process orchestration, faster insights, and the ability to adapt quickly. Many SAP Ariba environments were built long before these needs arose, and now they require a new technical foundation to enable further innovation.

Next-gen SAP Ariba provides exactly that: a suite designed for the new era of procurement, with embedded intelligence and a platform that can evolve continuously.

Although the current generation remains stable and supported, organisations without a forward-looking transition plan may find themselves maintaining parallel workarounds instead of benefiting from the advancements that are shaping the future of procurement.

A technological turning point for procurement

The new SAP Ariba generation addresses two key developments:

• The previous architecture can only represent AI and modern integration concepts to a limited extent. The BTP-based version is AI-native and provides continuous updates, as well as the ability to be extended modularly without the need for additional technical layers.
• Rising market, supply chain and organisational requirements demand fully automated, consistent and controllable source-to-pay processes. Next-gen SAP Ariba is the first solution to enable with a unified launchpad and a consistent look and feel across all modules.
