Handbuch E-Procurement

In many companies, procurement is still regarded as an operational business with no relevance to the success of the company. The processes are complicated, time-consuming and lack strategic focus. To remedy these shortcomings, electronic tools to support and automate procurement processes have been developed and introduced in practice. The use of such tools is called e-procurement. The failure of e-procurement projects in companies is usually not due to the concept of e-procurement itself, but rather to a lack of understanding and errors during implementation. This book can serve as a guide for decision-makers, project staff and students who want to familiarize themselves with the topic of e-procurement in a practice-oriented manner and are looking for support for a corresponding project.
