Many governments in the world use online public procurement systems for the acquisition of a wide range of goods and services including the purchase of rights (e.g. software licences) and digital goods and services.
In the Americas, all researched countries have adopted e-procurement systems. The acquisition of cloud services is allowed in all the e-procurement system analysed.

This new benchmark has been published in the scope of our Americas Digital Economy service.
