So you’re buying a junk car who will tell you that to turn right you have to steer your wheel one full turn first before you can turn right.This Contract involves the provision of all labour, materials, and equipment required for the supply and delivery of Heating, Ventilating, Pump & Compressor parts, components, and accessories for the City on an if, as, and when required basis.

Lastly, I’ve used ariba in a previous organisation 9 years ago and well… I’m using ariba in my new org now and NOTHING has changed. Everything seems to be hard coded and if there’s any feature or function change it will take months even years to get implemented. You literally have to memorise the series of tabs and drop down cells to run a tender.įourth, it’s NOT customisable at all.

If you didn’t do something the right way, the only way to undo it is to start from scratch. Sending a tender document to suppliers by email takes 5 min vs sending by ariba which takes anything between 5 hours to set up to 5 days depending on approval gateways. First, this was not designed to be user friendly or intuitive at all! It’s like a programmer decided to be a procurement manager and started introducing complicated steps to what is otherwise straightforward. I hate Ariba and I will have plenty of reasons to justify this.
