The limitations of these provided solutions came from a lot of architectural and technological challenges in the provided technical architectures that were used to build these solutions. This research aims to provide a proposed architecture to build integrated B2B e\u2010Commerce hub solutions. It also aims to make use of bottom\u2010up\/top\u2010down approaches to building an integrated solution and to resolve the reasons for the failure of previous generations of B2B e\u2010commerce hubs.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>The research uses the EDI reference model, which is provided by the ISO organization to survey and analyze the challenges of previous generations of B2B e\u2010Commerce hubs solutions and their architectures. The study develops a proposed solution architecture based on the recent approaches to building IOSs to build a B2B e\u2010commerce hub solution architecture that can be used to implement vertical B2B e\u2010commerce hubs (vertical e\u2010Marketplaces). The paper assesses the capabilities of the proposed solution architecture for building vertical B2B e\u2010Marketplaces by applying the proposed architecture to the building of a vertical B2B e\u2010Marketplace for the oil and gas sector in Egypt.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>Previous B2B e\u2010Commerce hub initiatives failed to extend their products and services to their \u201cParticipants\u201d, and required substantial investment and effort from each \u201cParticipant\u201d to join such a B2B e\u2010Commerce hub. The failure of these IOS projects lies in their inability to integrate B2B e\u2010Commerce networks based on IOS and consequently, they supported very few partners and \u201cParticipants\u201d. These IOS approaches did not resolve the existing challenges of B2B e\u2010Commerce hubs, especially in the realm of interoperability.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The main contribution of the proposed architecture comes from the creation of a clear automatic path between a business requirements layer and a technology layer by combining both Service Oriented Architecture and management requirements in a single framework to provide dynamic products and flexible services.
