Now India is a hot economy with a fast growing services industry that is a popular outsource destination for many of the world's largest companies.
Government spending as a proportion of India's GDP has been growing fast in the last three years with the boom in the economy.
Late in February 2007 it was announced India unveiled large increases in proposed spending on education, health and rural infrastructure, signalling the government’s determination to widen access to essential public services and improve living conditions for more than 600m villagers. This will be funded by surging tax revenues generated by an economy set to expand by 9.2 per cent in 2007.
In April 2007 Pat McFadden the eGov minister visited for a four day trip to meet Indian government ministers and IT companies to discuss investment opportunities and online services. Purpose: "This visit is very much about sharing the experience in both the UK and India of how technology can be used to improve service delivery and make life easier for citizens," McFadden said. "Both the UK and India have significant expertise in IT and I'm sure a deeper dialogue on these issues can benefit both countries."
The UK government has a major stake in delivering savings through eProcurement with the Zanzibar Marketplace.

Supplier Enablement - jobs galore?
I've just been listening to a webinar hosted by an ace Internet Marketeer and one of their many jewels of advice is
"you have to get up the results list on Google." Well, 1st result on Page 1 with the only link to a related blog - it gets no better.
One other interesting observation is the increasing number of jobs showing on Google results pages for supplier enablement. It is an interesting point of maturation of an industry when jobs are notified that require specific skills connected with projects. I have said many times that the tough part of implementing eProcurement is supplier enablement and now jobs are being advertised to make it happen.
What do you make of that?

Supplier Enablement - buyers get cuddly with suppliers
As I write and advise others about supplier enablement I find it more than comforting when I read a story about others who are getting under the covers of what supplier enablement is all about.
So if you are an oil or gas company or in their supply chain the link provided here will be of interest.
Even if you are not connected with these industries the story is still worth a read.

Supplier Enablement rumbles on - shock for SAP and Oracle customers
I have previously reported on work by the Aberdeen Group who do some fine research and reporting on Supplier Enablement.
I found a new news item reported on PROCURE IQ a web site that looks to be a broad church for supply chain types. This news item reported on a recent piece of research by Aberdeen that quotes:
"SAP and Oracle eProcurement shops are in the dark ages when it comes to supplier enablement -- perhaps the most important metric which determines the ultimate ROI of the solution".Ouch!
They go one to remark:
ERP eProcurement is largely wasted because 95-99+% of a company's suppliers usually remain unenabled following an implementation. And their advice is:
If a company chooses to go with Oracle or SAP for eProcurement, they should look to others from an enablement perspective.Click here to read the article
