Two years ago, few vendors offered any form of B2B EBPP.Most of the solutions that existed were mere adaptations of a B2C EBPP solution. However, over the past year, an increasing number of vendors have entered the market for B2B EBPP and the pre-existing solutions have evolved, noted Ariana-Michele Moore, a co-author of the report.Adoption rates in the B2C EBPP market are not as strong as originally anticipated, but the B2B side of the business is quite promising.The potential for cost savings is very significant in the B2B market, compared to those for the B2C.However, adoption will not take off unless there are robust solutions that can withstand the critics.
