Rebuild or Reinvent? Why Solenis Chose Coupa AI Over the Mandatory SAP Ariba Replatform

The SAP Ariba BTP rebuild is no longer a roadmap item — it is a live project for every SAP-centric organization. This mandatory migration forces a high-cost rebuild of your legacy environment. But is a “like-for-like” move the best use of your 2026 budget, or is this the perfect moment to reinvent your approach entirely?

In this session, Elodie Thibaut (Head of Procurement Excellence at Solenis) shares the factual blueprint her team used to evaluate the BTP mandate. She reveals why they scored Coupa significantly higher than Ariba (440 vs. 341) and how they leveraged a “Clean Core” strategy to modernize their spend management without disrupting their stable SAP ERP environment.
