It allows users to easily manage supplier relationships, negotiate contracts, and make informed purchasing decisions. With features such as supplier discovery, RFx creation, and bid evaluation, SAP Ariba Source helps organizations optimize their sourcing strategies and drive cost savings.
Microsoft Copilot Studio:

It lets platform teams design task-focused AI agents that plan, reason, and take action across Microsoft 365 and external systems.

How It Works: Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Connect AI is first managed Model Context Protocol (MCP) platform for AI integration. Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard for connecting AI assistants, agents, and automations to external tools and data.
With Connect AI's managed MCP platform, you can present your enterprise systems as standardized MCP tools and resources and call them directly from AI.
Instead of building and maintaining dozens of one-off MCP Servers, your AI simply calls one universal MCP URL from Connect AI, and gets governed access to live data from across your enterprise stack.
Getting Started is Easy:
- Configure data sources (Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday, SQL, Jira, etc.) in Connect AI.
- Create a 'Remote MCP' URL.
- Connect Microsoft Copilot Studio to your business data.
