The Power of e-Business

Electronic business, better known as e-business, is derived from such terms as "e-mail" and "e-commerce." It is the conduct of business on the Internet, not only buying and selling but also servicing customers and collaborating with business affiliates. e-business is ultimately the use of Web-based technology to improve performance, create value and strengthen relationships with customers, suppliers, business partners, shareholders and employees.

As the Internet becomes a more popular and widely used medium to conduct business, the more opportunity there is for companies to grow through the use of this means of online transmission. Now companies can sell their products or services online, collaborate with partners or employees, utilize web-based applications, and experience seemless transfer of information online, 24/7 from anywhere in the world. This increase in opportunity through e-business has led to an increase in the rate at which companies are growing and expanding their businesses. Companies are able to increase sales, increase their return on investment (ROI), lower employment costs, outperform their competition and simply grow, grow, grow through the online world.

e-business also presents a tremendous opportunity for smaller businesses. Never before has a small businesses been able to conduct business at the rate and cost at which a company can operate in today's e-world. For many companies, the cost to obtain an e-commerce solution for their business is relatively moderate in cost considering the potential at which they can produce results through online sales. For example, no longer do product companies need to have a store-front in order to sell their products, now product companies can simply run an online e-shop and sell their products while staying out of the public eye. This offers companies a great advantage by reducing the total cost of ownership to run and operate a store of their own.

The future of e-business can not ultimately be predicted. But what can be determined is the fact that more and more companies are beginning to realize the importance of operating their business online and are jumping on the e-business band-wagon. This means the companies that fail to integrate with the e-world may find it harder to stay competitive and run a successful business due to their online competition.
