| Indeed, with an increasing level of
product value coming from suppliers (on average, a company spends
45 cents on external purchases for every dollar it earns in
revenue), few companies can afford to overlook SRM as a key

SRM solutions help companies transcend
traditional supplier relationships to enable collaboration and profitability.
Our SRM solutions include valuable capabilities that address: collaborative

the best suppliers, establish strategic relationships, and facilitate
more effective supplier collaboration to meet changing requirements
and drive profits.
mySAP SRM increases supply chain visibility and
automated processes. Connecting the entire supply base -- and giving
you unprecedented insight into global spend. So you can cut the
cost of purchased goods and services.
