Enterprise-Wide Procurement Consolidation: Ivalua-SAP-EDW Integration Architecture for Global Supply Chain Excellence
Main Article Content
Abstract
The document discussed is an Enterprise Architecture to integrate the numerous International Procurement and Supply Chain Business Systems into one common Ivalua Platform using sophisticated ETL/EAI Integration with SAP MM/FI Modules, and an Enterprise Data Warehouse, which is very important to provide Master Data Management for Source-2-Contract and Procure-2-Pay processes to ensure data fidelity, and high ETL success rates. The proposed solution is to provide greater efficiency in processing invoices, to reduce Procurement-2-Payment (P2P) Cycle Time, and to create considerable cost savings. The integration of these systems will be accomplished in a phased rollout with a strong error handling process that will also improve visibility and compliance within Global Supply Chains. Numerous KPI's show that the project continues to demonstrate progress and those future phases will include Blockchain Traceability, Cloud Scalability, Real-Time ETL, and Artificial Intelligence Driven Predictive Buying to help stay competitive in a very Volatile Marketplace.
