Spend Management Solutions
The integration of SAP Strategic Procurement package with Icertis Contract Intelligence (ICI) provides Public Sector organizations with a powerful, end-to-end digital procurement and contract management platform. It helps governments and public institutions achieve compliance, transparency, speed, and accountability across the entire sourcing and contracting lifecycle—while ensuring responsible stewardship of public funds. 1. Full Lifecycle Digital Procurement with Contract Intelligence SAP Ariba enables structured, auditable sourcing processes—from supplier discovery and RFPs to award decisions—while Icertis enhances the contract lifecycle with AI-driven contract creation, clause management, and compliance tracking. This provides a seamless Source-to-Contract flow that’s compliant with public procurement laws and policies. 2. Improved Compliance and Regulatory Adherence Public sector procurement is governed by strict local, national, and international regulations (e.g., FAR, EU directives, public tender rules). The integration ensures contracts adhere to mandated clauses, approval hierarchies, and thresholds, with full audit trails and compliance reporting built in. 3. Transparency and Accountability in Public Spending Combined SAP Ariba and Icertis solutions provide end-to-end visibility into sourcing events, contract terms, supplier obligations, and performance. This helps public agencies demonstrate transparency to oversight bodies and the public, while ensuring funds are spent as intended. 4. Standardization with Flexibility Across Departments Public organizations often struggle with fragmented procurement and contract processes. This integrated solution standardizes sourcing and contracting templates, workflows, and governance—while allowing customization to meet specific agency, ministry, or jurisdictional needs. 5. Enhanced Risk and Obligation Management With Icertis, contracts are continuously monitored for risks, milestones, renewals, and non-compliance. Paired with SAP Ariba’s supplier risk insights and performance data, this enables proactive governance of third-party obligations and early identification of risks in critical contracts. 6. Accelerated Time-to-Award and Contract Execution Manual procurement cycles in government can be lengthy. Ariba + Icertis integration speeds up the process by automating RFx execution, e-auctions, contract creation, and digital approvals—helping agencies respond
more quickly to public needs or emergency procurements. 7. Support for Sustainability and Socioeconomic Goals
Public sector organizations often have mandates to work with small businesses, diverse suppliers, or sustainable vendors. The integrated solution supports supplier prequalification, scoring, and contract terms aligned to these goals—ensuring procurement supports broader policy objectives.
