The Ariba LIVE 2013 Conference Join the Networked Economy is officially underway in Berlin.
The event has been organised to offer global customers and partners an opportunity to engage with each other over the realities of being part of a networked economy.
Africa is viewed as being a key component of the Ariba global strategy and has been recognised for its rapid growth and potential.
Several keynote speakers will present during the three-day event, including Kevin Costello, President of Ariba Inc., Greg Spray, Senior Vice President, Solutions Management at Ariba Inc. and Marcell Vollmer, CPO at SAP.
Business leaders, buyers and sellers are expected to delve into the dynamics of procurement using advanced solutions, perception of ecommerce and driving value across the organisation using collaborative commerce solutions, amongst other topics.
On Monday 03 June, delegates were invited to a welcome reception. ITNewsAfrica was also represented and took a few snapshots.
