E-Commerce
E-commerce is simply doing business online.
This occurs in many forms, from a simple request for a quote to full-blown
dynamically-generated shopping, payment, and fulfillment solutions. Each
website can have a program tailored to suit the specific industry, line
of products, and customer needs. In its simplest form e-commerce is web-enabling
companies. Either taking all of the companies offline functions and processes
and pointing them to the Internet or creating a new online entity with all
the characteristics, functions and processes that their brick-and-mortar
competitors have.
While each industry and individual company is moving toward online e-commerce
at its own pace, collectively we are all moving toward that future reality
that dictates the Internet be integrated, institutionalized and accommodated.
The Internet is being mainstreamed in both the business world and our personal
lives. People and companies adapt or become less relevant.
