Ariba Discovery
Anglo American and De Beers Group are committed to building a responsible, inclusive and more transparent Supply Chain that generates sustainable value for all our stakeholders, including the communities that we operate in.
To do this we are simplifying our processes and digitalising our Supply Chain by implementing the Ariba Network and various Ariba modules to make it easier for suppliers to do business with us and to provide more visibility into our end to end procurement processes.
One of these modules we are using to make our opportunities more visible and accessible to all our suppliers, is Ariba Discovery.
What is Ariba Discovery?
Ariba Discovery is a cloud based, global market place where suppliers (sellers) and customers (buyers) can find each other, build relationships, collaborate and most importantly post and respond to opportunities or leads from us or other buyer organisations that are Ariba Network enabled.
