What is the Ariba SMP?
For a nominal, usage-based fee, the Ariba SMP delivers value-added capabilities to all suppliers transacting with customers via the Ariba Network. Commercial terms for high-volume suppliers are available. The SMP helps suppliers maximize the benefits of the Network by bundling value-added functionality, services, and support in one of four packages, tailored to their level of transaction activity. The Basic package is free, and Business, Integrated, and Enterprise package fees are based on transaction frequency, volume, technology needs, and number of Network customer relationships.
