A SOA-Based Framework for E-Procurement in Multi-Organisations
The lack of standard platform for application-to-application
interaction between the procurement systems of subsidiary organisations
of a multi-organisation limits transparency of procurement procedures,
and uniformity in the procurement patterns and practices, even when there are
cross-cutting concerns. In this paper, an SOA-based e-procurement framework
is proposed for effective e-procurement in a multi-organisational context.
The e-procurement framework leverages SOA's inherent capability for
addressing problems of heterogeneity, interoperability and dynamic
requirements. An empirical case study showed that the framework is effective
for achieving the corporate goal of promoting transparency, and enhancing
uniformity of corporate procurement management in a multi-organisational
context
