Abstract：E-procurement is just in its infancy; live applications are limited to larger, industrial companies. This sheds a different light upon the hype stories that were abundant until recently about the promising future of these applications. Based upon our investigation, we gave 5 reasons to explain why the adoption of e-procurement in business is slow. Our conclusion is that e-procurement will alter the purchasing landscape, however in a much slower speed than originally predicated by consultants and research agencies. From the 5 reasons that we have formulated, practitioners can learn what aspects to consider before investing in the different types of e-procurement solutions that have become available to them.
