Schools, hospitals and governments have quickly embraced Amazon.com Inc. as a go-to source for supplies, propelling the company’s three-year-old business platform into a $10 billion annual enterprise. Its success may soon provide as much revenue as the Amazon Web Services cloud-computing division and its digital-advertising services.
The e-commerce giant likely will keep expanding the business service internationally -- currently in eight countries -- in response to demand from customers, said Prentis Wilson, an Amazon vice president who oversees the division.
