]]> Comment on OB10 - A classic mistake! by frustratedwithob10 http://www.manojranaweera.com/2008/03/20/ob10-a-classic-mistake/#comment-159007 frustratedwithob10 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 16:26:00 +0000 http://www.manojranaweera.com/2008/03/20/ob10-a-classic-mistake/#comment-159007 I know you are looking at OB10 from a design perspective, but OB10 is a joke top to bottom. I am a small vendor forced to use the "service" under a subcontract, and it has done nothing but cost me time and money. The best part is that the company I subcontract to has me email every invoice to an accounts receivable person, so she can get the invoice paid through OB10. Meaning I use the OB10 system, and then go through a traditional invoicing process with my customer. I can't imagine how OB10 actually adds ANY value to the invoicing process. Assuming that the application is as clunky and limited for customers as it is for end users (vendors) it must be very frustrating for AR departments to abandon their old systems to use OB10.

Just a question on the involvement of banks in EIPP: back in 2000 there was a lot of noise about Bank of America partnering with Ariba to offer intergated purchase automation and EIPP solutions. The two even grounded a joint-venture, a separate entity called Bank of America Marketplace LLC, which was supposed to start offering B2B services to a customer base of no less than 2 million small business (see announcement at the link:http://www.news.com/Ariba,-Bank-of-America-to-build-financial-marketplace/2100-1017_3-238822.html ). Not sure how much progress this venture made so far, though, do you know anything about that? Hi Manoj,

With the same small crowd appearing at the same events is soon becomes samey. Bringing in fresh faces - maybe even students studying at the universities will help keep the events improving.
