Private web-based application
“Rip and replace” composite solution
“One to one” model
Expensive, one-off integration requirements
Limited communication between buyers and suppliers
Non-collaborative, one size fits all model
Limited value to both buyers and suppliers
Examples: Oildex, Cendec, Ariba, Basware, SAP, Oracle
Independent, easily integrated, web-based platform
Acts as an enhancement to existing ERP & Workflow systems
“Many to one” model delivers faster and cheaper supplier adoption
Supplier led registration and self-promotion
Continuous communication between buyers and suppliers
Leverages social/viral engagement model to simplify B2B commerce
Delivers equal value to both buyers and suppliers
