BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS E-COMMERCE
The Web provides an e-business with greater opportunities to
interact with the market place in managing its supply chain. As a result, there
is an increasing need to shift supply-chain activities to interact more with
B2B intermediaries, markets, and exchanges. This emerging focus of supplychain
management on B2B e-commerce provides an important l ink for an ebusiness to
link with other e-businesses. Moreover, conducting B2B ecommerce over the Web
has made e-business better connected in the global network that matches sellers
and buyers.
What do
enterprise systems need to incorporate to fulfill these functions?
For B2B supply chains, there will be more and more market-making
and
aggregation
activities
even for the supply chains of main products and their components. As a result,
the supply-chain management function for an ebusiness needs to coordinate and
integrate the transaction flows among channel partners on a more dynamic basis.
There are five B2B e-business models across a supply chain, starting from the
upstream of the supply chain,
they are:
- · Manufacturer direct, such as Dell or Cisco;
- · e-distributors, such as W. W. Grainger:
- · Neutral exchange and auction sites, such as Freemarkets.com;
- · Buyer-side catalog aggregators, such Ariba or Commerce One; and
- · Industry-wide (vertical) marketplaces, such as Transora and Covisint.
In supporting business-to-business procurement, for instance, the
B2B model can be based on Web-based catalogs, supply/demand aggregation,
markets, or exchanges. For web-based catalog systems, there are two key
considerations. First, the suppliers’ product information will have to be
interoperable, so that the customers can navigate between the product catalogs
of -
different
suppliers. Second, the catalog search and related activities must be integrated
with the enterprise legacy systems, so that the front-end information search
processes and the back-end support processes can be seamlessly integrated. For
supply/demand aggregation, market, and
exchange
models, the key to successful e-business development is to integrate
transactions across multiple sites.
A complete e-business framework must enforce integration with B2B
transactions, channel partners, supply-chain processes, and customer
relationship management needs are equally important for managing an ebusiness.
The framework also includes the ability to coordinate and integrate with other
e-businesses. As opposed to the emphasis on hierarchical
information
organization to ensure process coordination and data consistency, as is the
case in traditional enterprise systems, the new generation of enterprise
systems will be open, flexible, modular, and interoperable. As important, it
will fully integrate with the Web channel for supporting business-to-consumer
and business-to-business transactions.
The three major areas where B2B e-Commerce has made the most
impact are:
1. the productivity gains made possible by
transformations in processes and
organizational structures;
2. the increasing opportunities to
participate in electronic market-places to further improve the efficiency of
both the supply- and buyer- sides; and
3. the resulting B2B infrastructure to help
streamline the activities and transactions across whole supply chains.
It is clear
that B2B e-Commerce will continue its path of transforming supplychain
relations, industrial organizations, and inter-organizational structures. What
is less clear is how to evaluate a given B2B e-Commerce system for a specific
enterprise environment. Unlike traditional engineering projects or investments
in new equipment, B2B e-Commerce usually involves not only infrastructure
investments, but also transformed processes and varying
enterprise organizational structures. How to assess the precise
valuation ofB2B e-Commerce is still an unsolved problem. And a solution is much
needed to make technology investment and implementation decisions. In my preliminary
investigation, for the effective implementation of B2B e- Commerce, an
enterprise must consider a number of process, organization and supply-chain
attributes that determine the value of a B2B e-Commerce project. Therefore, it
is important to identify and understand these attributes and their
relationships to the implementation strategies adopted.
