Amazon.com与Ariba：B2B的采购经验是为了改变风暴(职业)

我们很长时间思考亚马逊，amaxonsupply将最终拥有eVrocurement的中小型企业（SMB）市场 - 这是一个乱丢的空间，这些空间与已经尝试进入的许多供应商的购买骨骼乱扔垃圾。多年来，阿里巴未能成功追求市场等。如今，Coupa，Verian，Wax Digital，Puridom，Proactis和其他一些都有一些在购买时与SMB的牵引力（P2P）。但一般来说，这个市场无法从集中式自动化的技术购买视角下开发。Amazon knows this – and we think it’s why they’re currently looking to hire someone with a “cXML, OCI and e-procurement” background to “manage e-procurement integration projects with customers and supplier networks” (more on this in a minute). As soon as Amazon builds out a Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering and app marketplace to integrate to AWS, it will become way more interesting than just a re-skinned Amazon (i.e., the aforementioned AmazonSupply). In this Spend Matters PRO analysis, Managing Director Jason Busch and Chief Research Officer Pierre Mitchell provide their candid perspective on Amazon’s potential in the eProcurement and P2P market, in part based on evidence they’re already seeing in Amazon’s business already.
