Business Problem

To make the most of e-commerce on the Web, you must take advantage of the Web’s unique features. The Web is unique in three key respects, (1) it is open around the world, (2) open around the clock, and (3) all input from your customers comes in digital, electronic form – ready to interact with your business systems. To use the Web to boost sales and cut costs, you have to:
Connect your site to your business systems. Give your Web customers direct access to the business database systems and data (catalogs, appointment lists, technical data, etc.) that deliver your organization's products or services.
Make your Web site smart. Use programming to make your site sell your products and service to your customers, better than a human representative could.
