What a scam!
Am I missing something here? Why should a supplier company pay to use Ariba or a similar company in order to get their invoices to their customers when previously, it was as simple as email? Huh? I can see the benefit from the company receiving the invoices (more streamlined, data received in preferred format, etc.) but why should the supplier have to pay? The receiving company has to know that their cost/price from the supplier will now go up to cover this the cost of this transaction.
How the hell did so many major companies agree to these ridiculous networks?
