Innovations Drive Business Networking By @Dana_Gardner | @CloudExpo [#Cloud]

Ariba today announced innovations to its cloud-based applications and global business network designed to deliver a personal, contextual and increasingly mobile-first user experience for business applications consumers.
Among the announcements are a newly designed user interface (UI) and a mobile app based on the SAP Fiori approach, both due to be available this summer, for Ariba’s core procurement, spend management, and other line of business apps. Ariba, an SAP company, made the announcements here at the Ariba LIVE conference in Las Vegas.
“This gives us a cleaner approach, more tiles, and a Fiori-like user experience,” said Chris Haydon, Ariba Senior Vice President of Product Management. “Users see all the business network elements in one dashboard, with a native UI for a common, simple experience for Ariba apps upstream and down.”
