Bouygues Telecom, French mobile phone and internet service provider, leverages cloud-based solutions from Ariba, provider of collaborative business commerce solutions, to streamline and enhance its procurement process in ways that deliver savings and efficiencies.

In conjunction with Ariba Sourcing, the Bouygues Telecom team has recently begun using Ariba Discovery, a next-generation business matching service designed to help buyers and sellers connect and collaborate more efficiently, to further enhance its sourcing activities and the results that they deliver.

“With Ariba Discovery, we can quickly find new partners who can deliver the right goods and services and consequently extend the number of suppliers consulted” Veilhan said.
