Procuri, a provider of on-demand supply management solutions, is being sold to Ariba in a deal worth $93 million in cash and stock.
Ariba, which is based in California, said it also would pay off $8 million in debt incurred by Procuri.

The deal has already been approved by the boards of directors of each firm, and it is expected to close in the fourth quarter.

This acquisition will accelerate our growth, give us scale in our on-demand business and strengthen our position in the fast growing mid-market,” said Bob Calderoni, Ariba’s chief executive officer.
