Today
, it is a requirement to be a service oriented company as
simply having the best product is not enough. How ever the
internet will expose weaknesses in service capabilities
that were previously hidden behind quality products.
By 2004, GartnerGroup predicts that 90% of enterprises who
fail to apply e-business technology and processes will lose
their status as preferred suppliers. By 2005, Forrester
Research predicts that e-market trading communities will
account for 53% of all B2B trade so, to thrive, it is imperative
to be ready to compete before then.
Happily it's not all bad news and you still have time to
catch the early leaders.
According to Berlcon Technology, at 35%, European growth
is now outpacing the US, at 15%, in the use of e-marketplaces
and a survey by the National Computing Centre earlier this
year in the UK found that fewer than 4% of organisations
were involved in B2B e-commerce.
So it is not too late to profit from their experience .

TRANSFORMING THE COMMERCE CHAIN

the opportunity
Analysts
predict an inexorable rise in the use of e-commerce chains.
As Forrester Research says "The real driver behind Europe's
e-commerce growth will be online business trade, which will
account for nearly $1.4 trillion of Europe's total online
trade in 2004.These revenues will come from efforts of industry
leaders to pull entire sectors online and the emergence
of e-marketplaces to facilitate online business trade."
GartnerGroup
estimates that in 1999, European revenue from B2B e-commerce
reached $31.8 billion. By 2004, revenues will exceed $2.34
trillion, with a global market of over $7.3 trillion.This
will represent 7% of the global economy.
Are
you equipped to take advantage of this new opportunity?
the
reality
Many
organisations are still struggling with some fairly major
issues:
What is e-business - in terms of the applications available
- and how will it change and benefit business functions?
How is this technology changing the dynamics of industry,
from potential opportunities to competitive threats?
How
do organisations set their e-business priorities, in terms
of benefits and costs, and how do they get management consensus
for the programme? How do organisations make it happen -
from technologies to invest in, to required resources and
restructuring to make its implementation successful?
This
seminar will help you answer these questions.
the
future
Are
legacy systems really obsolete? Most companies have focused
their internet efforts on the front end of the business:
selling and customer service. But there are tremendous gains
to be made at the back end as well. This typically linear
and reactive area can become an agile and dynamic web of
relationships that gives a company and its business partners
access to all the information they need, whenever and wherever
they need it.
To make e-business successful, companies must create an
infrastructure that is affordable, flexible and - most important
-tolerant of multiple information standards harnessing the
best of both their legacy systems and the huge opportunities
presented by e-business.
