These early adopters of e-business show a trend towards cost reductions and administrative efficiencies from procurement and self-service applications used by customers and employees A complex case study of e-business integration with a global supplier and its corporate customers is analysed to identify specific antecedents for success. Collectively the set of case studies is used to demonstrate the increased benefits derived from an e-business architecture based on a network of ERP enabled organisations.
