COLLABORATIVE DISTRIBUTED FRAMEWORK FOR SME ECOSYSTHEMS: THE GROUP-BUYING PORTAL USE-CASE

This paper describes a collaborative framework dedicated to SME ecosystems developed by EBM WebSourcing. The platform provides different kinds of collaborative business processes tailored according to user needs. It uses a process driven distributed Service Oriented Architecture implemented thanks to an Enterprise Service Bus that allows the integration of partner's information system if necessary. The use-case of a group-buying portal that we develop for SME clusters is detailed in order to illustrate our approach.
