Who was the Exec responsible for selecting and implementing Ariba? It has been nothing but a disaster for contractors in the field. Nobody is getting paid and the training su-ks. They tell me that every other company is getting out of this system, then why is EM selecting this? This person should be removed from their job!

The Belgian guy running Procurement’s Projects group is so out of touch with how our Suppliers operate that he is convinced that ExxonMobil can impose any disfunctional tool onto them without adverse consequences. The rest of the Procurement Leadership Team comes from outside EM (automotive, IT) and they think alike. The new VP will have some serious clean up to do.
Given all of the challenges, I have heard that the new VP may consider removing it.
