B2B E-Commerce Market Predicted to Hit $1.5 Trillion by 2004
A new industry report says that the B2B e-commerce market in the United
States will grow to approximately $1.5 trillion by 2004 from a base of $39 billion
in 1998. E-tail
sales to reach $126 billion by 2003
The U.S. market for online retail
sales will increase to $125.6 billion in 2003 from $11.5 billion last year as
shoppers become less worried about the security of Internet purchases and as more
traditional retailers offer online shopping, according to a study by The Yankee
Group. Ariba
Seals E-Commerce Deals, Unveils New Products
Ariba Tuesday rolled
out several new deals and products for business-to-business e-commerce, including
agreements with J.D. Edwards, Microsoft Corp. and US Bancorp. Inacom

Network integrator
Inacom Corp. is adding an E-business unit and creating additional service offerings
around two new products. Distributors

and shipping has never been viewed as a glamorous business, even in the world
of high technology. But distributors are taking on a new luster thanks to the
rising tide of Internet reselling. SAP
banks on e-business portal
SAP doesn't intend to become a Web retailer
like Amazon.com. Nor does it plan to run auctions as eBay does. Instead, SAP hopes
to expand its stake in the business-to-business e-commerce market and build the
largest global network of business buyers and sellers online. E-Commerce
Is A Key Ingredient Of Supply-Chain Management In The Food Industry
Let's
be frank. Companies in the food and beverage industry haven't been the most aggressive
IT users in recent years.
