碩士 === 中原大學 === 電子工程研究所 === 90 === With the prevalence of e-business during these years, more and more business trades have developed in the Internet world. The Internet has broken through the limitation of time and area in the real world and made many existing models of operation and business logic unfit any more. Therefore the companies have to seek for new methods of business management. In the past, the annual cost of purchase, which is most neglected, was approximately more than half of the total expenditure of one company. In order to enhance the purchase efficiency and reduce the cost of purchase, it will be the trend for the companies to implement e-procurement system in the process of electronizing. Based on the statistical data, the implementation of e-procurement can help the companies to save about 70% purchase cost and time. In addition, it also can simplify searching process of purchase merchandise, reduce the mistake of purchase, and support the purchase policy of the companies. Because of numerous advantages of e-procurement, many big companies have implemented e-procurement system. As time goes by, the functions of old system with insufficient and closed cause procurement process still need huge labor operations. Old system setting in mainframe also makes it difficult to combine with new one. However, old system is more stable and it has been used for years. It also stores a lot of important procurement information, so it is worthy to reserve. In this paper, we use S company as a case that established a new procurement system and combined the new system with old one to report the design of framework and the process of function. We also describe the process of developing and analyzing the benefit of e-procurement system to provide useful applications in academia and industry.
