Audit Trail -Recording of who did what and when at various key stages of the purchasing process vi. Liability -Through employment or legal contractual obligations vii. Survival: E-procurement service is rapidly growing multiple standards. Both suppliers and buyers are uncertain of which service provider will survive or become obsolete. Computer Fraud Internal abuse and misuse Breach by external party - External attack by various parties whether corporate espionage or terrorists Virus affecting the system - Email viruses such as NIMDA which have capability of crippling systems Denial of service - Flooding a computer’s internet connection with requests to disrupt traffic flow Intellectual property Misappropriation or release of intellectual property Remedial measures • We should remember that it’s important to make sure that the procurement solution we are using is efficient, can support the entire supplier network and is easy to use for both us and our suppliers. Keeping these things in mind when choosing or evaluating a procurement solution can be an important step on our path to reaching more savings in our procurement. • Before the implementation of e-procurement, the organization must first clearly define the business problems its eprocurement solution is intended to address. Furthermore, before an e-procurement solution can be deployed, the department must undergo thorough procurement process reengineering • Department should encourage using new e-procurement technologies through intensive training and educational sessions with end-users. • e-procurement needs to be integrated into the heart of a Department’s IT infrastructure. This would also solve the problem of directing a lot of resources for the planning and execution of e-procurement implementation. BY SMT. ARCHANA TALWAR SR.AO, MR. ARUN KR. CHAUDHARY, SR.AO & MR.
