9. BENEFITS FOR THE BUSINESS << back home next >>
Some of the organizational benefits of doing business over the Internet include
the following:
Business can be conducted 24-hours-a-day, 7-days-a-week.
Products can be supplied to anyone, anywhere in the world (as long as there is
an economic and reliable distribution channel).
Suppliers can respond quickly to customer requirements.
Suppliers can build a one-to-one relationship with customers. Through search
tools and customer profiles, information can be tailored to customer
requirements on demand. Direct communication results in improved pre and
post-sales support.
Customers can access up-to-date information - expensive printed catalogues
and service guides can be replaced by a single electronic product database
(which must be kept up to date at all times).
10. BENEFITS FOR THE BUSINESS << back home next >>
E-mail distribution is cheaper than direct mail, and providing the information on a
website is cheaper still if users can be encouraged to access it for themselves
The overheads of maintaining a physical retail outlet are reduced.
Routine business operations can be automated, saving time and money - the
supply chain is shortened so delivery times and costs are reduced.
Staff costs can be reduced - standard enquiries and sales can be handled
automatically via software, leaving staff with time to handle the difficult or higher
added-value transactions.
Entirely new services can be developed - for example, software and music can
be delivered instantaneously and cheaply via the Internet.
11. APPLICATIONS << back home next >>
