Course Overview
Electronic contracting and the automation of business transactions, such as acquiring goods or services between trade partners, are referred to as “e-Procurement”. e-Procurement can be used within the private sector or between private and public sector transactions. Cost saving and efficiency advantages encourage changing their traditional process to e-Procurement. The electronic handling of tasks simplifies the process, increases transaction speed, and enables virtual relationships with suppliers. It will allow resources to focus more on value-added tasks.
