Self-management from Portum

Portum, a leading supplier of e-Sourcing in Europe, has launched its Enterprise Administration Tool (EAT), a software package that allows its customers to self-manage on-line auctions. The product has been developed to minimise the need for customer reliance on third party vendors and to keep costs down.

Users will be able to register and train auction participants, assign suppliers to address books, create analyst accounts, generate passwords and export user data. The application is hosted by Portum, but customers will use it as if it were its own, with the attendant autonomy.
