Case Study: Rogers achieves $100M+ in identified savings opportunities with SAP Ariba

Identified Over $100M in New Savings Opportunities

Rogers Communications Inc., Canada’s largest wireless and a leading cable/Internet/telephony provider, faced mounting pressure to cut costs after its first year of sub‑double‑digit growth. The Strategic Procurement Services team had poor visibility into spend, no standardized processes across 70+ sourcing professionals, and more than 40,000 active suppliers with no formal rationalization, limiting its ability to find savings.

Rogers deployed Ariba Spend Visibility and Ariba Sourcing, supported by Ariba services to speed implementation and optimize processes. The initiative delivered visibility across $10B in annual spend, identified over $100M in new savings opportunities, enabled sourcing of more than $6B in addressable spend, and covered 50+ categories including marketing, courier and hotels.
