Essentially, the Approved invoice for the Ariba community of suppliers will come directly from their Buyer's ERP into the Ariba Network as approved to pay, then will be uploaded directly to TRE with no opportunity for the supplier/seller to alter the invoice in any way. Thus this should add a strong level of surety in the validity of the approved invoice and its terms.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10273944763679789514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7643217757806189045.post-24356566410285866102009-07-13T12:06:16.152-04:002009-07-13T12:06:16.152-04:00I certainly do not, but being prepared for "w...I certainly do not, but being prepared for "what's next" is an important part of business management...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7643217757806189045.post-69001908332544780252009-07-07T08:48:53.439-04:002009-07-07T08:48:53.439-04:00Excellent and helpful observations.

And it will be able to do it much more effectively once volume has scaled further. <br /><br />However, from the point of view of the individual buyer, "portfolio" level analysis will depend on that buyer's having sufficiently large and diversified holdings to allow such high-level analysis.<br /><br />Exchange-level analytics can comfort the individual risk-taker only to the extent that his holdings mirror the characteristics of the entire exchange. <br /><br />But please disagree if you see it differently!Charles R.

I would also propose that the science & art of portfolio modeling and predictive metrics, or predictive analytics, can be leveraged in a large way to mitigate the risks. Most practitioners also have now accepted the additional religion of stress-testing as being an absolute.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
