WALLDORF, Germany, Feb. 10, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP SE (NYSE: SAP) today announced the latest slate of companies across the globe who in the fourth quarter of 2019 chose SAP® Ariba® and SAP Fieldglass® solutions for intelligent spend management to help maximize efficiency in procurement operations and flexible workforce management by controlling costs, managing risks and discovering new opportunities to innovate and grow.

"In every corner of the world and across multiple industries, digital transformation is driving growth at a pace faster than anything we've seen before," said Pat McCarthy, SAP Ariba and SAP Fieldglass senior vice president and general manager. "Business leaders recognize that central to any successful growth strategy is managing business spend, not just efficiently, but holistically. Chief procurement and financial officers have reached their limit with a siloed approach to managing business spend."
