Supplier Onboarding

Supplier Onboarding
All suppliers are required to be onboarded before VMware can do business with them. Supplier onboarding is the process of gathering documents and data needed to set up a company as an approved supplier and to enable our organization to efficiently conduct business, purchase goods and services, and make payments to that company.
To become a VMware supplier, please partner with your VMware business contact to initiate an onboarding invitation to connect with VMware through Coupa Supplier Portal (CSP).
Once a supplier has registered, updated their ‘VMware Profile’ with the required information and complete the risk assessment in Coupa Risk Access (CRA) a confirmation will be sent upon completion of the onboarding process.
Additional training and information available under ‘Resources’.
