Abstract
SUBTITLE: THE E-PROCUREMENT REVOLUTION HAS ONLY BEGUN AND ALREADY WE'RE SEEING EVOLUTION WITHIN THE REVOLUTION. FIRST CAME BUY-SIDE SOLUTIONS THAT AUTOMATED MANUAL TRANSACTIONS AND CUT COSTS ACCORDINGLY. THEN CAME THE DIGITAL MARKETPLACES WHERE MULTIPLE BUYERS AND SELLERS COULD DO BUSINESS WITHOUT HEAVY IMPLEMENTATION FEES.
