Introduction
KeyCorp Selects New Ariba Spend Management Solution
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 28, 2004-Ariba Category Procurement Solution to Help Automate and Capture
More Than $100 Million in Multiple Categories of Labor Spend
Ariba(R), Inc. (Nasdaq:ARBA), the leading Enterprise Spend Management (ESM) solutions
provider, today announced that KeyCorp (NYSE:KEY), one of the nation's largest bank-based
financial services companies, has selected Ariba(R) Category Procurement(TM) to automate
the capture and management of its broad range of complex spend categories, including more
than $100 million of its services spend.
KeyCorp, having already implemented Ariba(R) Buyer(TM) and Ariba(R) Workforce(TM), has
enhanced its ESM initiative with Ariba Category Procurement to take full advantage of
negotiated contracts and preferred terms, purchasing best practices and improved collaboration
with suppliers.
Over the past several years KeyCorp has used Ariba Buyer as a pivotal component of its spend
management solution. Now, KeyCorp expects to use Ariba Category Procurement to streamline
the procurement of services in a controlled environment, driving cost reduction through
competition, volume discounts from preferred suppliers, and process improvements including
standardized processes and reporting of contingent labor and services in a single enterprise
solution.
Initially focused on contract IT labor, KeyCorp plans to quickly expand to other professional
services categories including temporary clerical services, recruiting, training, consulting,
accounting, legal and marketing services. KeyCorp plans to roll out the solution this year to its
current user base of over 2,000 cost center and hiring managers responsible for more than $50
million in temporary clerical and IT labor spend.
"There are a lot of solutions in the market that manage just one category of spend," said Debbie
Manos, SVP and Chief Sourcing Officer, KeyBank. "We chose Ariba Category Procurement for
its seamless integration into Ariba Buyer and unique capabilities to effectively capture and
manage a broad range of spend categories such as IT contract labor, temporary labor, and
consulting, while also providing us the flexibility to incorporate additional categories in the future
such as legal, marketing, print and facilities management."
"KeyCorp recognizes the importance of spend visibility having already realized significant
savings and efficiencies through Ariba solutions," said Michael Schmitt, EVP and Chief
Marketing Officer, Ariba. "As a result, the company has made a strategic decision to seek
improved cost savings and process efficiencies in its procurement of temporary labor and other
complex categories of spend with the Category Procurement solution."

What is ACP? (Ariba Category Procurement)
Ariba Category Procurement (ACP) is a new product offered by Ariba Inc. This tool works in
conjunction with Ariba’s Buyer Platform and provides a means of managing services spend.
ACP was released in the latter part of 2004 and services as a replacement platform for Ariba’s
joint effort with Cascadeworks – AWF (Ariba Workforce.)
ACP is built upon Punch”in” technologies, which promotes a seamless interfaced between buyer
and partnering organizations. These advancements allow for a better-integrated, streamlined
experience when procuring services for requisitioners and suppliers alike.
ACP simplifies services procurement in a manner that allows the process to be dynamic enough
to capture unique information, allow for dialog between suppliers and managers all the while
creating an ordering process that is very similar to the procurement of goods.
Furthermore, ACP allows buying organizations, hiring managers and related suppliers to work in
collaboration. Services requests and subsequent purchase requisitions are created jointly
between requestors and participating suppliers via the Ariba Network.
The detail that follows outlines how Ariba Category Procurement is utilized at Key for the
procurement of IT Staffing Requests.

How Does ACP differ from AWF (Ariba Workforce)?
ACP – Ariba Category Procurement and AWF- Ariba Workforce are applications which are
separate and uniquely independent of each other. Ariba Category Procurement is owned and
fully supported by Ariba Inc., while AWF (Ariba Workforce) is temporarily supported by Ariba but
owned and operated by an external organization.
ACP is built upon punchin technologies and allows dynamic and seamlessly integrated
requisitioning via the Ariba Buyer platform.
AWF – Ariba Workforce is a standalone platform that can be managed as a catalog in Ariba
Buyer.
ACP – is facilitated via the Ariba Network at https://service.ariba.com/
AWF – is accessed via the following URL: https://key.awfconnect.com/CWLogin.html

Key no longer offers staffing requests via AWF.

Key’s Policies
It is Key’s policy that IT Staffing Requests are delivered to suppliers by the following means.
Effective June 30, 2005 – all IT Staffing Request must be facilitated via ACP via TIPS, Key’s
Totally Integrated Purchasing System.
Upon submission:
Staffing Requests are made available for all Tier One suppliers for consideration.
Requests older than 3 business days will be made available for Tier Two suppliers.

Collaborative Requisitioning
The Collaborative Requisitioning process starts with the Hiring Manager.
Hiring Manager’s log into TIPS, Key’s Buyer Application and create a purchase requisition that
contains information specific to their staffing needs. This requisition is delivered to participating
suppliers based on ranking (Tier One or Tier Two.)
Suppliers in turn have the ability to complete the staffing request by adding candidate(s)
information to the collaborative requisition.
This process happens by means of punchin technology.
Back to the Index
Punch”in” Technologies
The collaborative requisitioning process is facilitated via Punch “in” technologies.
This process works in the opposite manner of punch out and allows participating suppliers to
effectively punch “in” to Key’s Buyer network. Punch “in” allows authorized users to enter Key’s
firewall and complete the details required for collaboration.
Due to the sensitive nature of this process, it is imperative that only authorized representatives
of partnering supply organizations be allowed to access the network. For these reasons, Key
has implemented a strict policy and protocol associated with supplier access.
The details of this policy and the subsequent procedures associated with gaining visibility into
Key’s staffing requests follows:
Please Note: Access is granted at the user and not the organizational level. For this reason
each employee in your organization which require access to Key’s staffing requisitions must
follow the steps outlined in Chapter 12 Security Policies and Precautions.
Back to the Index
Security Policies and Precautions
Key has strict guidelines associated with all applications utilizing punchin technologies.
For this reason it is necessary that all ACP enabled suppliers be formally granted access to
enter Key’s firewall.
This process is facilitated by means of a User Profile Enablement request.
Please Note: This process is not organization specific, but specific to each user that will be
punching in to view staffing requests.
