FCC
receives
“2012 Ariba
Excellence Award”
The first Spanish
company to receive
one of these prestigious
awards
FCC was awarded the “Procurement Effec-
tiveness” price at the Ariba Live ceremony
held at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. The
prize was given for its procurement model
and e-commerce solution as part of the
“2012 Ariba Excellence Award”.
Ariba, with these awards, recognises the
most innovative companies in the world in
e-commerce. An independent panel of jud-
ges made up of members from companies
specialising in this field chose the winners
among 1,500 of Ariba’s client companies
worldwide, 18 of which are listed in Fortune
20, and more than half in Fortune 100.
FCC’s procurement model
The FCC Procurement model is based on:
a)
The Procurement Department, a global
unit based at the Group’s parent com-
pany (FCC, S.A.).
b)
Processes focused on shared decision
taken by the Procurement Board of
FCC.
c)
An advanced e-commerce tool for the
entire supply chain, which ranges from
request for quotes to invoicing, integra-
ted with the accounting and payment
management system of FCC.
Besides FCC, the other winners in other
categories were: General Motors, Sodexo,
Dell, McDonald’s, United Airlines and Au-
chan (Alcampo). These prizes have been
awarded since 2010. Companies such as
HP, Johnson and Johnson, Caterpillar, and
AstraZeneca were among the winners in
the two previous editions
