We are transforming procurement to better serve our suppliers, and our business, through simplification of policies, streamlining of processes and moving to industry-standard strategic technology platforms.

Today, procurement at Kyndryl uses processes and a complex set of procurement tools set up for IBM, not Kyndryl.

Our procurement transformation program is called Source to Pay. Our chosen strategic platforms are SAP Ariba and SAP Fieldglass for Source to Pay and Contingent Workforce Management respectively.

We are pleased to announce that we are moving to Kyndryl’s own Source to Pay platform. It will be independent from current solution provided. Thus, we will set up a new Trading Relationship between you, SAP Ariba and us. 

Kyndryl and SAP Ariba have reached an agreement to provide you this service without any network fees associated with Kyndryl transactions only.

We believe this shift will strengthen our business relationship and allow for more robust collaboration and purchasing capabilities.

We are targeting a cutover from current business-to-business process in two activations in May and July 2023. 

Conducting business on the SAP Business Network will be required and your POs, invoices, acknowledgments, and ship notices will be transmitted using this platform.

Kyndryl and SAP Ariba have reached an agreement to provide you this service without any network fees associated with Kyndryl transactions only.

Please note, if you opt into additional services or transact with other buying organizations on SAP Business Network, you may be subject to fees. Click here to learn more about SAP Business Network fees.
