Joel,

Where in the Technology Life Cycle would you say the companies in the B2B sector would be at the present time?

I think the answer will be different depending on the product type within the B2B sector. Since you mentioned Ariba, I think procurement software is probably in the bowling alley. With such a high ROI, I think it's very possible that the bowling alley will be very short-lived and that the adoption will quickly progress into the tornado.

If you haven't alrady seen the article about ROI, take a gander: informationweek.com
