Also award me points if you found the Summary appealing
What is SAP E-Sourcing
SAP E-Sourcing (legacy SAP E-Sourcing E Sourcing ) is a product acquired by SAP along with their acquisition of SAP E-Sourcing commerce last year. This tool has functionalities of Sourcing, Contract Management, Category/Sourcing Project Management & Spend Management
This engine, at the first look, seems far more robust than current SRM bidding engine and LAC. While SAP has achieved preliminary integration with R/3 using flat files and CSV files to transfer master data from one system to other, there is a lot to be done on the integration ( SAP R/3 and EBP ) aspects and SAP does already have a plan in place, please see the next slide for the roadmap
The SAP E-Sourcing application helps customers attain bottom-line savings and accelerate time to benefit by cutting costs and encouraging user adoption. Together with the SAP SRM application, SAP E-Sourcing gives customers a complete sourcing-to-contract management process u2013 with several points of entry into the process, multiple delivery model options, and a seamless migration path to transform all purchasing functions.
Benefits include
Dutch auctions (Forward auctions), Auction enhancements
Event message board on the buy side and the sell side, for all sourcing documents
Ability to install & host the application on DB2 database platform
Customers will have an upgrade migration path from existing application lines
For non SAP customers SAP E-Sourcing will continue to be offered as a stand-alone application in addition to its deepening integration to SAP ERP and evolvement as part of SRM 7.0
With the acquisition of SAP E-Sourcing Commerce, SAP has a stronger footprint in the SRM space and with the release of SRM 7.0, SAP is looking at strengthening the functionalities that are currently unavailable in SRM 5.0 (Ex. processes such as spend analysis, collaborative project management, online bidding, contract negotiation, and contract management).
