Achieve successful exploitation with e-commerce
"Doing business electronically" or Electronic Commerce as it is more commonly known, is unfolding as the competitive advantage that will make or break any cooperation - at least it is if you believe the White Paper recently published in cooperation with the Technology Strategy Team of EC Cubed. Entitled "The Third Wave - Inter-enterprise Process Engineering", it takes the view that successful exploitation of e-commerce can only be achieved when the trading environment is integrated with other business processes. "To compete in the emerging digital economy, companies will need to change their business models, rethink the way they work and form new relationships with their trading partners and customers," .says the preface of the White Paper. It also argues that even though e-commerce is a fairly new phenomenon on the business scene, it is evolving rapidly and is already creating a third wave of impact on business. The White Paper provides insight for business leaders who must make critical decisions regarding e-commerce initiatives. For technology leaders it provides a framework for planning the Internet generation of application architectures needed for e-commerce.
