Sorting out 10′s of case studies, white papers and researches I’ve archived since 2001 when I joined Eutilia, I found this great and long article from Peter Henig, written in 2000 in the famous Red Herring magazine and about industry-sponsored exchanges. Many of his assumptions turned true though in opposition with the hype… . Congrats [...]

After Eutilia… sadly, BT Transact will cease all operations by mid-year 2007. The decision was taken some time ago, but is now official on their website: As many, BT Transact didn’t find anyway to reach the ‘critical mass’ fast enough and to reach profitability. Too many players; no differentiator; too costly and complex; not attractive enough… BT [...]

One, because it is the first time I was hearing about it – nobody is perfect – while it is not [...]
Those websites (see below) are not really B2B eMarketplaces for software development but could be, somehow, with some additional functionality like a collaborative ‘online specification description” module. It is more a C to C eMarketplace to get your personal website done but I have to say I used them to develop some bits (graphical bits [...]
