Purpose and benefits

An e-marketplace is an Internet based environment that brings together business-to-business buyers and sellers so that they can trade together more efficiently. E-marketplaces have been massively over-hyped. Fundamental issues were ignored, such as the fact that much trading is based on personal relationships developed over time. However, done properly, e-marketplaces can make for more efficient purchasing processes, saving time and money for everyone involved.
