Usually customers have an MDM solution that serves as the system of record for their internal landscape. SIM provides a bridge to the cloud where suppliers own their profile and can maintain their data on a self-service fashion. SIM allows you to manage suppliers from an on-boarding and qualification perspective. We have a common profile with basic organization data, contacts, certifications, etc, then we have a supplier profile questionnaire that allows customers to configure other fields/questions to gather additional supplier data (specific to buyer's need).
