B2Bexchange.org - Marketplace to Advance Business Capabilities, Capacity & Competitiveness Launched

Sept. 7, 2008 - PRLog -- Traditional b2b exchanges involve trading goods between businesses. Now, Opportunities for Business has created an innovative, easy to use, online exchange for cross-fertilizing qualified business opportunities among the global business community. This new marketplace allows businesses to partner, collaborate or outsource specific operational, management and support services globally creating efficiencies and effectiveness to the involved parties.

The Need:
Capability is the measure of the ability of a business entity to achieve its objectives, especially in relation to its overall mission. Advancing capabilities or capacity requires expertise, knowledge, processes and infrastructure while removing non-value activities and costs. Adding adaptive, agile, best in class capabilities in research and development, designing, manufacturing, marketing or logistics without creating long term overheads is not easy, especially, if you need it in another country at a short notice. This is where Opportunities for Business excels.  

How does B2Bexchange.org Work?
The concept is simple. Buyers and sellers post specific business needs in predefined formats (templates) which are viewable and searchable onsite and are widely communicated via pinging, RSS feeds, emails, news groups, etc. Interested respondents search and select the appropriate posted business opportunity and respond with an offer.

Using this exchange is simple. Start by visiting B2Bexchange.org and select either the membership (organizations requiring regular, multiple postings) service or the pay per use (organizations requiring ad hoc postings) service. Both services allow businesses to select the appropriate operational, management and support template from a list of pre-built templates. Once the appropriate template is selected, businesses can opt for the precise capability they are seeking or offering. Additionally, businesses can further customize their template by adding their specific business case and then posting the requirement in the marketplace by clicking submit.

Customer submissions are not only available on the exchange for searching and viewing but are also fed as RSS feed for global subscribers so you can stay informed of the new opportunities without the need to go to the site everyday. B2Bexchange.org also sends “pings” to news aggregators sites like Technorati, Blo.gs, Weblogs.com, Yahoo, BlogRolling, Google and others informing them that new business opportunity posting is available for viewing. These aggregator sites then publicize your story on the Internet. See videos at www.B2Bexchange.org/videos/ for more information.

Economic development organizations and investment agencies can post opportunities on behalf of their clients. Technology councils and membership associations can partner with Opportunities for Business to develop custom templates for their industry.
