We’ve just released a new white paper that might interest you. It’s titled Building the Foundations of an Online
Marketplace for Local Services. Here’s the abstract:
"With the proliferation of e-commerce, the Internet has created new opportunities to bring goods to market. Services, too, have been impacted by the Internet. Increased bandwidth, data security and application availability have all contributed to the growth in outsourcing and off-shoring. Despite the key role that the Internet plays today, it has not caught up with one important service segment. Local services, where consumer and provider must keep in close proximity, have remained for the most part offline. This white paper outlines the need for and the opportunity in having an online marketplace for local services, the service lifecycle and the challenges that a successful marketplace must overcome in each phase of the cycle, and, finally, the complete solutions that GenieTown provides to meet the needs of customers and providers."
