The big e-payback
Article Abstract:
The influx of electronic procurement solutions is radically transforming the purchasing practices of corporate organizations. In the past, employees had to fill countless purchase orders and purchase requisitions, and wait a long time before receiving the supplies they need. However, Internet technology is obviating that system and simplifying the purchasing process. Employees merely have to access the Web site of their vendors, view and assess the wide selections available online, and indicate their orders. The system can route the requisitions to the company's approval process and alert the finance and accounting department of the purchase. Business-to-business e-commerce removes unnecessary costs out of transactions and liberates employees to perform more strategic jobs.
