Sunnyvale, calif.--(business wire)--for years, jp promotional products, inc. relied on word of mouth to grow its business. then the world went digital. social networks and apps took hold, unleashing

most global business network operated by ariba, an sap company. and in doing so, the provider of imprinted promotional products has opened the door to connections and opportunities that were previously out of reach. on october 13, the company will share the secrets of its success with other selling organizations at the 2015 ariba commerce summit in new york city, a free one-day event to

her father, robert rosenthal, runs the company based in ossining, new york. “in connecting to a digital marketplace like ariba, we can find opportunities with new partners and compete for them on equal footing with much larger competitors.” and they can find them quickly. within 30 minutes of signing on to ariba discovery™, a cloud-based service for matching business buyers and sellers globally delivered on the ariba network, rosenthal found an opportunity that was perfect for jp promotional products – a request for imprinted socks from a fortune 100 company. “these kinds of opportunities are very difficult to break into just by knocking at the door,” rosenthal says. combining a proprietary matching engine with unique profile information, ariba discovery instantly matches
