Our Procurement System: SAP Ariba
Parsons utilizes a digitally enhanced procurement system, SAP Ariba, to engage and interact with suppliers. The SAP Ariba tool provides an efficient methodology for onboarding and managing suppliers as well as facilitating successful procurement processes. SAP’s procurement and sourcing solution allows buyers and suppliers to do business on a single platform. It automates our end-to-end procure-to-pay processes and streamlines how we buy goods and services globally. All suppliers will work through the SAP Ariba tool for procurement transactions.
