Case Study: Lenovo achieves a globally unified, intelligent procurement platform with SAP Ariba

Lenovo Tailoring Transformation Supports to Build a Comprehensive and Intelligent Procurement Platform

Lenovo, a global technology leader operating in 180 markets, faced fragmented general procurement across many categories, regions and methods. The company needed a unified end‑to‑end digital platform, expert guidance for deployment across five business regions, and a program to build a stronger digital mindset and consistent compliance.

Lenovo implemented SAP Ariba with SAP Preferred Success, using multilingual templates and best practices to create a single procurement platform covering requests, sourcing, bidding, payments and reporting, plus a custom “Progress Cockpit” for visible key metrics. The result was greater efficiency, transparency and lower compliance costs, ongoing expert support and workshops to drive adoption and continuous optimization.
