Title: Evaluating Benefits of eProcurement in
a B2B Marketplace: a Case Study of Quadrem
Abstract: This
paper reports on an investigation into the benefits from eProcurement implementations
within a public eMarketplace for the mining trading community. Data was collected
from nine established trading companies in this eMarketplace with respect
to the perceived benefits from their market interactions. The findings are
analysed according to the level of eProcurement sophistication between buyers
and suppliers provided by the eMarketplace. The results indicate that the
more active the buyer-supplier trading relationships become the greater level
of benefits realised.
