Description
An eMarketplace is an electronic forum that brings
multiple buyers and sellers together. The best-designed
marketplaces provide members a unified view of
sets of goods and services and enable them to
executive transactions using many different mechanisms
available in the eMarketplace. The Internet has
allowed specialized business-to-business Internet
markets to open up across industries - with expectations
for torrential growth over the next few years.
There are two reasons why this trend is taking
shape:
- Industry inefficiencies still
exist: In today's business environment,
comparing offerings across suppliers requires
multiple phone calls to various suppliers
or enlisting the costly support of middleman.
Time-consuming practices like these are
ideal candidates for a Web solution, where
purchasing agents can compare many different
products instantly.

- Technology barriers are coming
down: Early online market makers
had no option but to build their sites
from scratch. But the technology landscape
is maturing. Today, Imetris builds sophisticated
marketplaces using tools from firms such
as Ariba and Commerce One, or we can create
a marketplace from tools available from
many of our business partners such as
IBM's WebSphere Commerce Suite - Market
Place edition and Microsoft's Commerce
Suite.
