Ariba has released a new version of Ariba Sourcing, the company's application for managing the purchase of direct materials.

Ariba is partnering with Dell Boomi to allow for faster integration to the Ariba Network for business-to-business collaboration.

Ariba Inc. has developed an updated version of its collaborative commerce platform. The new Ariba Network will include a "consumer-like" buying interface which gives requisitioners real-time access to the data needed to making buying decisions, the vendor said.
