Case Study: Ericsson achieves 90% global indirect spend compliance with Capgemini IBX Purchase-to-Pay

Ericsson - Customer Case Study

Telecommunications leader Ericsson faced high purchasing costs and a lack of efficient, standardized processes due to numerous local systems and widespread maverick buying. To address this, they partnered with vendor Capgemini to implement a unified global procurement solution, specifically the IBX Purchase-to-Pay system from the Capgemini IBX Business Network.

Capgemini's solution involved a global rollout of the eProcurement platform across over 100 countries. This implementation successfully streamlined procurement, achieving over 90% global compliance on indirect spend and processing more than 40,000 orders per month. The system provided the required scalability, ease of use, and relevant supplier catalogs, which empowered end-users and allowed Ericsson's purchasing staff to adopt a more strategic, value-driven role.
