The Global e-Business Scenario

As we have stepped into the 21st Century, globalization and information technology are combining to define new benefits, methodologies, and imperatives for the B-2-B marketplace. Internet-based B-2-B e-commerce promises a new era of streamlined processes, better vendor management, and more sophisticated automation of the business cycle. With the entire B-2-B landscape shifting to e-commerce, organizations world over are faced with the following challenges:

• How to ensure security for online transactions and payments?
• How to unify all procurement activities and streamline vendor management?
• How to lower Total Cost of Ownership and improve ROI?
• How to stay focused on core business issues while embracing and implementing e-commerce?

To meet all these objectives, organizations need to unify the control of all their procurement, vendor management, and infrastructure related activities and stay focused on the core business issues.
