eCommerce

When it comes to your business and the internet, you have two choices. You can benefit from the global communication it offers. Or you can get left behind. eStats estimates that roughly 40% of all medium to large-size businesses have a web site, and another 20% will get one within a year. Worldwide, the number of internet users will quadruple over the next five years, to 142 million by the year 2002. Research by Boston Consulting Group indicates that online sales revenues totalling $13 billion in 1998 will grow to $108 billion by 2003. Yet a new study shows that while small businesses may be the pioneers of electronic commerce, these companies often lack the tools necessary to make online sales work. That's where we can help. We have developed electronic catalogs using HTML/OS and Java code that can make it easy for your customers to place an order (see Figure 1 above). We even have a no-cost option for implementing the catalog for qualifying businesses.
