Case Study: Computacenter achieves €100 million in annual transactions over the Ariba Network with SAP Ariba

Computacenter Transacting €100 Million in Revenue Annually over the Ariba Network

Computacenter, a UK-based IT infrastructure services provider with ~13,000 employees serving customers in nearly 60 countries, needed to simplify procurement from a catalog of more than 60,000 items, standardize e‑business setups, and automate previously manual ordering and invoicing processes to meet customer demand for faster, error‑free buying.

Using SAP Ariba (Punchout, cXML ordering, catalog and e‑invoicing) Computacenter built Computacenter Connect—an integrated web shop with order acknowledgement, invoice integration and electronic payment—so customers can move quotes straight into online baskets and access product benchmarking and recommendations. The result: €100M transacted over the Ariba Network, 10% of sales automated, 65% of orders processed and invoiced electronically, 12% higher online sales value, fewer errors, faster setups and time savings for customers.
