Recently, Sourcing Innovation published their first white paper in a five part series meant to open the eyes of purchasers to the opportunities that arise as web 2.0 makes its way into B2B. Entitled “Introducing B2B 3.0 and Simplicity for All” it provides backgrounds and details the development of e-procurement and e-sourcing from the early rough stages until today, and starts to point out a direction for where these technologies will go in the future.
We’ve touched upon this subject several times in the past few months (On the Way to Enterprise 2.0 and What SRM Can Gain From Social Networking) so hopefully you’re already aware of the power that the so-called web 2.0 technologies unleash (be it web services, intelligent agents, mash-ups, blogs, RSS etc).
Sourcing Innovation promises that this series of white papers will be published on a monthly basis until the end of the year, with “Simplyfying B2B for Suppliers Enables Buyers” being the title of the september edition.
