A New Way to Send and Receive Payments
Arlington Computer Products improved their financial processes and operations using the new AribaPay cloud-based B2B payment service.
Agile business services are entering into a new era, an integrated and on-demand approach to ordering, billing, and settlement processes between buyers and seller. A prime example is Ariba’s partnership with Discover, the financial services organization, to create AribaPay.
At the recent 2014 Ariba LIVE Conference in Las Vegas, BriefingsDirect had an opportunity to learn first-hand how the new approach works and benefits a first major user, ACP. To understand how AribaPay fulfills the last critical step in an end-to-end P2P process, we sat down with Arly Guenther, Chief Executive Officer at Arlington Computer Products in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, and Drew Hofler, Manage Cash Solution Marketing Director at Ariba, an SAP company. The discussion is moderated by me, Dana Gardner, Principal Analyst at Interarbor Solutions.

But as the infrastructure has converged, with server virtualization leading consolidation efforts, blind spots now exist causing more and more data to be hidden from enterprise tools.

The Five Biggest Data Center Trends of 2014
Data centers managers and system administrators have a lot to keep up with in 2014.

Bringing Your Legacy Apps to the Cloud
Getting your new applications into the cloud is a relatively simple procedure. However, enterprises are faced with a large number of existing applications in their current portfolio that may not be ready for the new cloud world. Before migrating legacy apps to the cloud, like moving to a new house, enterprises need to assess their current portfolio of apps and determine what they should consolidate, what they should get rid of and what they should keep.
But deciding what to keep is only half of the equation. Enterprises need to understand how some application properties and the development process need to change in order to have a successful migration. Companies can reduce their costs significantly by optimizing their applications development and maintenance. Moving away from the «old way» to the «new way» not only results in saving money, but will also result in saving significant time.
