I\u2019m naturally curious, so I went to the URL.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t miss updates on Procurement &amp; Supply Chain, Subscribe here!<\/p>\n<p>There, I discovered Ariba Exchange. Though I couldn\u2019t find anything describing what I had just found, a little random pointing-and-clicking revealed what appears to be a very targeted social network of sorts. Think of LinkedIn customized specifically for spend management professionals, only with a more pleasing user interface.<\/p>\n<p>Ariba Exchange \u2013 which I could not find an announcement for \u2013 features discussion boards, polls, videos, and more. Despite the initial low profile \u2013 any new technology release should be given time for working the bugs out before declaring it the best thing since sliced bread \u2013 Ariba Exchange seems to have gotten some early participation and features interesting discussions on topics like reverse auction formats and spend classification.<\/p>\n<p>Because I haven\u2019t received any press release information from Ariba, I\u2019m not sure how much they are going to plug it. But it made a favorable first impression on me and, assuming that Ariba continues to dedicate sufficient resources to it, I expect that Ariba Exchange will become a useful destination on the Web for gaining and exchanging knowledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ariba has recently posted a few nicely done vidoes on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":4116,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-procurement"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Is Ariba Exchange The Next Hot Web Destination For Sourcing Professionals?
