When developing the flight plan for supplier enablement, focusing on medium and low volume or less strategic suppliers already on the Ariba Network is a logical progression in the enablement process. This choice is correct as it emphasizes the importance of leveraging existing suppliers who are familiar with the Ariba system.

These suppliers are already onboarded and have experience working within the network, which can lead to a smoother transition and a quicker integration process. By integrating these suppliers, organizations can streamline procurement processes, establish baseline data for performance, and alleviate potential challenges associated with onboarding entirely new suppliers who may have no prior experience with the system.

The goal of the second wave of enablement often involves optimizing resources and ensuring that the overall supplier ecosystem operates efficiently. Medium and low volume suppliers often represent a critical mass of spend, making it important to keep them connected to the procurement process without overwhelming the organization's resources or causing delays in the supply chain.

In contrast, choices that focus solely on strategic high-volume suppliers or only the top-tier suppliers may overlook the value added by less strategic suppliers already present on the network.
