Abstract
This chapter considers the current work in e-procurement and the issues deriving from the moves towards greater use of information and communication technology in business. We first consider the context for e-procurement and the drivers pushing the developments. Then we consider the approaches in use in various projects and developments and, finally, we offer a potential solution strategy for the problem of disparate systems that leads to their inability to communicate.
