"Procuri had great success selling to both the enterprise and the mid-market, accumulating over 300 customers with nearly 70 percent of them under USD5 billion in revenue," Calderoni continued: "Software-as-a-service is something they did from day one, and with that comes a lot of know-how about how to successfully go to market with these types of solutions.
Clearly this is something we can leverage at Ariba to fuel continued growth of both our revenue and market share".
