Source to Pay

We are moving to our own Source to Pay and Contingent Workforce Management platforms, SAP Ariba and SAP Fieldglass

Why is Kyndryl moving to SAP Ariba and making use of SAP Business Network?

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.

What is Source to Pay?

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.

When will this take effect?

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

When does each country activate?

We are deploying Kyndryl’s Procurement Portal (SAP Ariba) and in selected countries Contractor Portal (SAP Fieldglass), noted with an asterisk, in May and July.

How will you transact with us in the future?

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

What are the costs?

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.

What will happen next?

You have received important communications and instructions for joining the SAP Business Network. This includes establishing a trading relationship with Kyndryl on the SAP Business Network and configuring your SAP Business Network account.
