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. A conceptual framework is used to identify how strategic e-procurement systems can be developed to ensure two-sided value propositions for buyers and sellers in the martketplace and sustained innovation and financial returns.
