In this paper, an SOAbased e-procurement framework is proposed for effective e-procurement in a multiorganisational context. The e-procurement framework leverages SOA’s inherent capability for addressing problems of heterogeneity, interoperability and dynamic requirements. An empirical case study showed that the framework is effective for achieving the corporate goal of promoting transparency, and enhancing uniformity of corporate procurement management in a multi-organisational context.application/pdfQA Mathematics, QA75 Electronic computers.
