Overview: Article states that E-procurement is hot, but the goods one need most, are the hardest to buy online. While the fragmented nature of direct purchasing is complex, large suppliers of indirect materials have been quick to help companies gain control of their spending through online catalogs and preferred-supplier agreements. The rewards are tempting, but moving direct purchasing online is often more challenging — and risky — than indirect E-procurement, and it can take a substantial effort before systems that support the purchase of office supplies can handle the additional complexity of raw manufacturing goods.
