Back in the 1990s, when the commercial Internet was still beginning to revolutionize the way they live, personally and professionally, the founder of Zycus was inspired to develop web-based business applications for procurement professionals.

The foundation of Zycus’ promise of a powerful source-to-pay procurement software suite is built on:
