Covisint B2B Marketplace [EOL] vs IBM B2B Integrator comparison

The Covisint B2B Marketplace was built with the following three characteristics of an electronic market system.

• Reduced cost – The customer-reduced cost theoretically comes from a simpler search process, the reduced cost for the supplier comes from a simpler search process for potential customers.

• Network externalities – Benefits realized by individual participants in an electronic market increase as more organizations join the system.

• Economies of scale and scope – Electronic market systems typically require large capital investments and offer potential substantial economies of scale and scope.
