Communication is key Communicate with your suppliers Communicate with your employees Communicate with leadership teams The message has 3 points : We are changing the way we do business This change is not an exercise or short term project. This program represents fundamental change to our business and is not temporary i.e.; we will not return to a paper based process after our Ariba Network deployment. Every employee and supplier, regardless of role, is expected to understand how they are impacted and do their part to ensure the success of the program. 20
