What is E-Business?

E-Business is not about changing the business we are already in, but in most prominently changing the way we do business by transforming key business processes through the use of powerful Internet-based technologies to attain the most competitive edge in the market place.

E-Business can:

• Increase revenue through different ways of marketing through new channels, customers, and services/products offerings.
  
• Reduce time and costs by process automation, workflow streamline, and information centralization.
  
• Time-efficient when real time solutions are focused.
  
• Loyalty of relationship between Business <=> Business and Customer <=> Business for long term mutual benefits.

What is E-commerce?

Most people think that e-commerce means online shopping--workaholics pointing their browsers to Amazon.com to order an emergency present because they forgot someone's birthday again.

But Web shopping is only a small part of the e-commerce picture. The term also refers to online stock and bond transactions and buying and downloading software without ever going near a store. In addition, e-commerce includes business-to-business connections that make purchasing easier for big corporations. And many people hope that so-called micro transactions will let people pay small amounts--a few cents or a few dollars--to access online content or games.

QVC, the shopping channel whose Web subsidiary iQVC opened last September, argues that it has been doing electronic commerce for the past 11 years by broadcasting on cable TV and taking orders over the phone. But the kind of e-commerce that everyone is interested in right now refers to systems that let money change hands over the Internet.
