Although we've heard about the Internet, e-commerce/e-business, dot.com's and dot.bomb's for a number of years, we are still at the beginning of a dramatic shift on how companies conduct business. We can already begin to see the way the Internet has changed the way people work, learn and play. These changes are small compared to what we're about to see. One of the big issues today is that companies are still chasing the technology, not the underlying business need. Successful "electronic business" enabled corporations include the Internet as part of their business strategy.

This tutorial is designed for those that want to change the way their companies utilize this technology to satisfy their customers. This is a broad-brush tutorial that covers the strategic areas a company needs to address to be a successful "electronic business" enabled corporation and will use real-life examples to emphasize both successful and unsuccessful EC efforts.

Everyone from the executive team to the customer service representative has read about or used some form of Electronic Commerce (ECM). But what exactly qualifies as ECM and how do you identify it? This tutorial will show you how the functional areas of your organization should react to ECM? And we'll show you how to lead your company to the ECM 'promised land.'

Mitchell Levy, President & CEO of ECnow.com, will discuss the big picture of ECM and detail the effective strategies. Levy will cover the subject from both the buy and sell side, business-to-business and business-to-consumer.
