ASP 방식의 B2B e-마켓플레이스 솔루션

A B2B e-Marketplace Solution with Application Service Provider Functionality

This paper presents the business model and system functionalities of a B2B e-marketplace solution that not only can overcome some problems of the public e- marketplace, but also can be applicable to both public and private types of e-marketplaces. This solution is different from the most of the public e-marketplace solutions that their main sources of revenue are transaction commissions or transaction fees through the third-party intermediation. Instead, this solution provides an ASP (Application Service Provider) functionality for direct, dis-intermediated purchasing and sales-related transactions between suppliers and buyers. With this functionality, suppliers and buyers electronically commerce with each other without the disclosure of their transactions as well as transaction commissions.
