Abstract: Systems and techniques to generate statistical reports on transactions conducted via an electronic marketplace are based on data extracted from the transaction documents. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes receiving documents sent through an electronic marketplace, with each document including multiple data fields. Data is extracted from predetermined document data fields. The extracted data relates to a predetermined statistical category of transactions conducted through the electronic marketplace. The extracted data is stored, and a report corresponding to the predetermined statistical category is provided. The report includes an aggregation of the stored extracted data associated with the predetermined statistical category. In some implementations, a report may be generated that relates to information regarding global spending according to the buyer, seller, time period, product type, contract, and/or other parameters.

Abstract: Systems and techniques to facilitate collaborative development of product definitions allow convenient and efficient identification and evaluation of product innovation ideas. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes receiving product innovation ideas via a network and storing the product innovation ideas. The stored product innovation ideas are displayed for review by a user, and the user may send an indication via the network of one or more selected product innovation ideas. Web-based collaboration among an evaluation team comprising a plurality of members provides a mechanism for evaluating the at least one user-selected product innovation idea.
