Prior to that he served with Senator Gore as Issues Director during the 1992 presidential campaign. He now advises Vice President Gore on strategic technology issues. "As busines-to-business eCommerce continues to drive the economy and create never-before imagined business opportunities, Ariba recognizes that public policy will play a pivotal role in shaping the evolving Internet economy," said Keith Krach, president and CEO at Ariba.

DJ Ariba CEO: Unique In Joining Buyers, Sellers On Net NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Ariba Inc.'s (ARBA) business is unique in bringing buyers and sellers together over the Internet, according to Chairman and Chief Executive Keith Krach. In a CNBC interview Tuesday, Krach said the difference is the company's focus on operating resources like industrial supplies, office supplies, and travel and entertainment, rather than what he called "direct materials." He did not elaborate. Until now, companies generally didn't have these types of operating resources and services automated, Krach said. Earlier Tuesday, Ariba expanded its electronic-commerce system by including more buyers and suppliers on its business-to-business network and broadening its product offerings. Those selling services include U.S. Bancorp (USB), Compaq Computer Corp. (CPQ) and ImageX.com Inc. (IMGX). - Beth M. Mantz, Dow Jones Newswires; 201-938-5393
