INTRODUCTION

e-Procurement is the business to business purchase and sale of supplies and services over the Internet.  More and more organizations are viewing the application of best practices in e-procurement as being essential skill sets needed by all employees involved in the procurement process.  This IRES training course focuses on the development of e-procurement in an organization that then leads onto the management of the complete e-procurement process.
