Join Atos and SAP Hybris at a lunch on Thrusday, 30th June at Gordon Ramsey’s Savoy Grill for a unique look at the seismic change in B2B buying for UK Manufacturing, and hear what industry leaders are doing to meet this challenge head on. 
The B2B buyer has changed. These new professionals are #digitalnatives who want instant responses with the exact information they require.Forrester research states that 75% of B2B buyers now prefer to buy online but only 25% of B2B suppliers currently sell online. And of those B2B buyers 93% would rather transact on their own electronically than speak to a supplier’s representative. We would be delighted if you joined us at our VIP Lunch Event to explore these new challenges, better understand future possibilities, and network with your peers in a 5 star setting. Johan van Kampen, Head of Information Management, SAP, will set the scene and our senior manufacturing and B2B guests will take part in the roundtable discussion. Please register here

Online fraud set to double by 2020
A study from Juniper Research suggests that online fraudulent transactions will hit $25.6 billion (£17.6 billion) in 2020, up from $10.7 billion (£7.4 billion) last year.

A study from Juniper Research suggests that online fraudulent transactions will hit $25.6 billion (£17.6 billion) in 2020, up from $10.7 billion (£7.4 billion) last year.

This means that by the end of the decade, $4 in every $1,000 of online payments will be fraudulent. E-retail is likely to account for 65 per cent of fraud, or $16.6 billion (£11.4 billion), by that date, with weak areas including buy online, pay in store and electronic gift cards. The sector is followed by banking (27 per cent) and airline ticketing (6 per cent).

The study, Online Payment Fraud: Key Vertical Strategies & Management 2016-2020’ found that the implementation of CHIP and PIN services at POS (Point of Sale) locations in the US is likely to be a key factor driving activity in the online fraud space. It argued that the greater security afforded by CHIP and PIN would persuade fraudsters to switch their attention from the in-store environment to the CNP (Card Not Present) space. Continuing migration online and to m-commerce (reaching over $1.7 trillion in 2015) will provide further incentives for fraudsters to focus on these channels, argues the report.

Meanwhile, the research claimed that although banks are able to counter online banking fraud by deploying new technologies such as 3D-Secure and device fingerprinting , these measures often only provide temporary respite as fraudsters quickly find new ways to defraud.

Similarly, while extensive efforts by the airline industry to deploy sophisticated Fraud Detection and Prevention (FDP) systems has reduced fraud significantly for some major airlines, this industry has also seen fraudsters shift their focus to other perceived weak spots in the system.

A complimentary whitepaper, ’Managing the Risk of Fraud’, is available to download from the Juniper website together with further details of the full research and the attendant Interactive Forecast Excel (IFxl).

Legal fragmentation, taxation systems (VAT) and logistics/distribution remain the three most difficult barriers to overcome for online merchants selling abroad according to the “Cross-border E-commerce Barometer”. Following on from last year’s successful survey on barriers to growth of the European online sales industry, Ecommerce Europe launched the Barometer amongst its European-wide membership base at the beginning of 2016 to measure the barriers online merchants still face when trying to expand their business cross-border in Europe.

As the voice of the e-commerce industry, Ecommerce Europe provides EU policy makers and companies with first-hand information and workable solutions for the main obstacles online businesses face when trying to sell goods and/or services in other EU Member States. “We have to make sure that we do not make things more complex for the online sector. The Barometer is a useful tool to identify exact problems and assess developments in the e-commerce market following policy initiatives taken at EU level”, declared the Secretary General of Ecommerce Europe, Marlene ten Ham.

The Barometer analysis report examines more in-depth each of the three main barriers to cross-border e-commerce in order to provide detailed and evidence-based facts & figures about the issues which - according to online merchants - require immediate attention and solutions. Furthermore, this year’s study has a dedicated part to merchants’ attitudes towards the increasing globalization of e-commerce. Most of the companies that replied to the survey believe that the globalization of e-commerce will foster unfair competition between EU and extra-EU online merchants.
