The Cat Tech vision is to allow SME's to participate in
multiple e-marketplaces with minimal disruption to their daily
business process. E-markets will grow in all vertical industry
sectors in an effort to drive down procurement costs and improve
bottom line figures. The cost savings for large corporations and
governments are well documented. Although each E-market will
encourage an SME to participate the administrative and technical
burden of integration with different environments will restrict the
SME from true active participation
The Cat Tech solutions are to provide an SME with an electronic
catalogue that supports a growing number of E-procurement standards
from a single integrated point. Purchasers from any number of
E-marketplaces will enquire on the same data and update the same
system. The SME is then publishing accurate stock information to
potential buyers and ensuring all sales information is captured in
an efficient and timely manner.
