Ariba Presents 2015 Network Innovation Award

T-Mobile recognized for leveraging connectivity and insights of networks to transform B2B payments

Ariba LIVE 2015

LAS VEGAS--()--As consumers, we can send and receive payments for goods and services anywhere, anytime using any device. But things are different in the business world where the payment process remains largely paper based and as a result, costly and inefficient. The move is on to change this, however. And innovative companies like T-Mobile US, Inc. are leading the way.

An early adopter of Ariba® Pay, a cloud-based solution designed to digitize the “pay” in procure-to-pay, T-Mobile is enabling a more efficient process that creates benefits for both buyers and sellers alike. And for this, the company has been recognized by Ariba, an SAP company, with the 2015 Network Innovation Award. The award was presented during Ariba LIVE, the premier business commerce conference taking place this week at The Venetian Las Vegas.

“Emerging payment technologies are certainly disruptive,” said Alex Atzberger, President, Ariba. “But as T-Mobile proves, disruption fuels innovation. And innovation drives advantage. And for this, we are pleased to recognize the company with the 2015 Network Innovation Award.”
