No, not money management.

They are 'procurement' consultants. Essentially, they co-ordinate the purchasing of products and services for corporates, with the aim of driving down costs. They run tenders, handle negotiations for pricing, etc.

I have never dealt with Ariba, but I know one of their competitors. The other consulting firm has modus operandi which makes used car salesmen look like paragons of virtue by comparison.
