Description
Faced with the challenges of streamlining and efficiency,
CERN has recently implemented a leading-edge e-procurement
solution which generates savings by automating the high-cost
business processes previously associated with recurrent
low-value purchases. The solution, which benefits both the
supplier & the customer, is rapidly expanding and we observe
significant interest in other large organisations following
suite. The challenge now is to create a vision for SME
participation (both as suppliers and/or customers) and
question if emerging grid technologies may provide a canvass
for such a picture.
