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 researches 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.
