10. The Case for Change
• Challenge
• Invoice mix consisted of half paper and half electronic. Processing cost of paper
significantly more expensive. Expansion of existing electronic solution not cost
effective. BPO solution required document conversion of paper to electronic image
• Solution
• Automate invoice processing and increase PO usage
• Why Ariba:
• 60% Match on Suppliers that made up 80% of existing paper volumes
• GSK already using Ariba Buyer module for Purchase Orders
• Integration with JDE (E1) System (one pipeline forward)
• Flexibility of submission option for suppliers (PO flip, EDI/CXML and CSV)
11. AP Processing – Moving Beyond EDI
Need solution to address paper invoice vendors
EDI – 52%
240K invoices/year Paper 48%, 220K invoices / year
Almost maximized Very long tail of paper invoice vendors
Paper Ariba To improve AP productivity
Per invoice cost to process (SFS only) $4.47 $1.72
Avg Time to receive invoices in AP ~ 21 days ~ 2 days • Need to improve efficiency &
effectiveness of paper invoice process
AP Cycle time ~ 11 days ~ 7 days
Payment within Terms (2010 average) ~ 70% ~ 94%
Big Opportunity
* Based on data of last 15 months
