An organization or a firm can attain numerous benefits and
advantages through the proper utilization of e-procurement, for instance,
transactional benefits, compliance benefits, management information benefits,
price benefits, payment benefits etc. It is important to mention that such
benefits will definitely contribute in improving profitability, productivity
and efficiency throughout the supply chain (Eakin. 2003) and this can't go
without implementation of related risks. We suggest that benefits should be
analyzed with their potential associated risks e-procurement adoption and
implementation. Most of researchers' respondents are internal users and it is
good to have external users' views as well. In addition, the private sector is
also affected by the systems but not many research studies have given enough
time to them. Comparison with data from available documentation was not given
proper consideration and commissioned researches done by governments were not
included to increase the level of accuracy of findings and thus enrich the
comments.The effectiveness of e-procurement practices is very crucial in
attainment of the set organization's targets. This is beneficial to the
organization given that it can help to reduce cost and help in bringing
efficiency in the organization's operations hence contributing to the
organization's success. Comparably advancement in technology and improved
financial information systems have been hypothesized by various scholars to
effect positively on the task performance. From the reviewed literature it's
evident that many studies have been done on e-procurement performance.
