“The successful integration between InSite and Ariba has been in production for years with several Fortune 500 clients allowing them to extend their investment in Ariba in acquiring human capital and services while also managing the tasks and activities involving the people that are getting work done,” commented Fieldglass CTO, Sean Chou. “Fieldglass is honored to be acknowledged within the Ariba Ready program and thereby a part of the procurement ecosystem of Ariba clients.”
